Article I found
Technology has opened a door to a whole new type of bulling known as cyber cullying. Cyber bullying can cause people to do dangerous things to themselves if they are bullied enough. In 2008, Jessica Logan, 18, hung herself after an ex-boyfriend circulated the nude cell phone snapshots she had “sexted” him (Shwartz). Earlier this year, six students were accused of bullying Phoebe Prince, a student in South Hadley, Massachusetts, who also committed suicide. Also this year, Tyler Clementi supposedly jumped off the George Washington Bridge after discovering that a webcam video of his intimate encounter with another man was streamed onto the internet. Technology may have several upsides, but it also has several downsides as well, and this is one of them.
