    I think this raises a really interesting point. In this day and age, cyber bulling has become a prominent issue amongst teens and now even children. The problem with this is that back before social media or the internet existed, bullying would usually only happen at school and you could go home and not be bothered by it. Now with social media and the internet, the bullying follows you back home so that there isn't a way for you to escape it.
    It almost feels like that every month or so, there's another report on the news that someone has committed suicide as a result of cyber bullying, and the victims seem to be getting younger and younger.
    I like how the article brings up the parents role in all of this, it suggests what they can to make sure that their kids don't fall victim to cyberbullying. I feel parents do have a big part to play in all of this, just by keeping an eye on what their kids are doing, enforcing rules so that there are to be no electronics in the bedrooms.
