1: Right from the bat, I can tell that the author of this article is against cyber-bullying. Sanchez choice of words describes a big change that has happened over the years which is negatively affecting kids. "Gone are the days when coming home from school was a refuge for kids;" immediately tells me that kids are being affected outside of school yards with the help of technology.
2: The topic of this article is cyber-bullying which basically describes that there are "faceless forms" of harming people. With the use of the internet, email, cellphone and and webpages, bullies can contact people to harass or even harm them. With that being said, the main idea that should be grasp from this passage should be to stop harming people. There might be no federal statute for this kind of harassment but people have to realize that words affect people just as much as any damaged caused physically. There should be new laws which would incriminate bullies if found guilty. Every state and country should start applying rules to limit abuse found on the web.
3: "Sexting" "Cyber-Bullying" & "Textual Harassment"
4: The effects of cyber bullying can cause mental distress, it can affect someone's self-esteem, it can affect someone academic perfomance, and physical health.
5: I have never been a victim of it nor have i known of anyone close to me who has been either but i have definitely seen an increase in trend. I hear about it all the time in the news and i see how it can be fatal to people.
