Introduction
Social networking is the use of websites and applications (apps) to interact with online users via phones, tablets and computers. For example, snap-chat is a mobile app that allows users to follow friends post about their daily events and family. Also even companies like Instagram is another app that allows for photo and video sharing for business and personal entertainment.These and many other social networking apps and websites such as Facebook, Twitter, Tumbler, etc. are used to connect people around the world but for some, these sites are used for bullying and tormenting others. To define the term, cyber-bullying is when a child, teen is tormented, threatened, harassed, humiliated, embarrassed, targeted by another child, teen using the outlooks of Internet, or other technology such as mobile phones apps. It is because of situations such as this that I have come to the conclusion that social networking is imperfect. Social networking started out as a positive, and now has grown into a negative.
