Cyber bully
Nowadays, there is a high population of people having computers at home. More and more people, especially teenagers, are making new friends on the web. It is common to see teenagers going on to facebook or twitter to make new friends. Some people will be bolder in terms of commenting on people on the web as they may have the mind-set of not having to comment face-to-face, instead they are 'hiding behind' their computers. They tend to be commenting negatively most of the time, but they will usually say that they did not do it intentionally and they do not know that their comments would hurt the person. Most of the people would think that it is fun or they would do it to attract others' attention. It is really inconsiderate of them to do this. Sometimes, they did it due to peer pressure or to attract their parents' attention. It is common as most of the parents are too busy with their work to care for their children. Therefore most of them will use cyber bully to attract their parents' attention. In this case, they comment negatively on the other internet users without thinking twice or thinking of the consequences. This will cause them to comment without any limit or boundaries. This teaches us to think before we act. We should also be more careful when we make friends online
