Teasing is a byproduct of many adolescents lumped together in an enclosed area. The older species of the vile Snott-nosed Bratticus are often hormone crazed and angry, finding what they perceive to be flaws in others and relentlessly berating them for it. Such is the world of the high schooler...yet this is not necessescarily a good world to exist in. Victims of bullying have been pushed to kill others, but most common are cases of suicide, when they can't take the torture inflicted by their peers any longer. Unfortunately, not many bullies realize the effects of their 'innocent' actions, but harassment is truly in the eye of the beholder. Teasing someone may seem harmless, but it has the possibility to inflict deep, psychological damage. With such large gains in technology, we are only making bullies job's easier. Cyberbullying is a relatively recent trend in the way bullies torment others. It is all too easy to send a hateful message to that annoying girl with the big ears, or that one overweight guy. Cyberbullying is harder to police than the more traditional form of bullying, but it is still highly important to attempt to abolish it.
