[1], [2] are print journals, [3], [4], [5] are websites
[1] Holladay, Jennifer. "CYBERBULLYING." The Education Digest 76.5 (2011):
4. Print.
[1] Jennifer Holladays article is suggesting that the rates of cyberbullying in
High schools and elementary schools is not tolerable. Students are being harassed
by their peers over social media and their parents are not aware of it. Students from
a high school continually mentally abused a new student named Phoebe, not long
after these problems started she had committed suicide, and even after she had
passed there had been comments made such as "I don't care that she's dead.
(Jennifer 4) Jennifer talks about the effects of cyberbullying, what we could do and
what needs to be done to solve these social media problems. I think that I would
definitely consider using this article in my essay because its a real life example of
why cyberbullying is an enormous problem in this generation and more to come.
[2] Feinberg, Ted. "CYBERBULLYING." The Education Digest 74.7 (2009): 26. Print.
[2] Ted Feinberg explains the legal and also the psychological issues when it
comes to cyberbullying. He describes the effects of it and the way cellphones make
it easy to track, harass and threat people among social media. Cyberbullying has
been thought to direct mostly females although, Ted talks about how these theories
may not be true. It doesnt just start at schools, it begin as soon as one connects
with the media. I will use this article in my essay because it gave me a very good
understanding of what schools could do to help and how we could initially support
these issues.

[3] Liesik, Geoff. "Twitter Polls Blamed for Cyber-bullying at Utah School."
DeseretNews.com. 13 Nov. 2015. Web. 19 Nov. 2015.
I, myself have seen the problems associated with twitter and cyberbullying.
Geoff discusses how twitter has made it very easy to get caught up in cyberbullying.
Also the effects it has on teens, High schools and our learning environment. In his
article he writes tips for students and people who want suggestions, which I believe
is an excellent way to bring peoples attention when reading his article. I may use
this in my essay, considering the good points Geoff makes and the real like views he

explains. Twitter has one of the biggest impacts in cyberbullying, such as sexual
harassment, harassment in any kind, threats, and humiliation, he describes that the
consequences need to be altered and be taken more seriously.

[4] Cohen, David. "Cyberbullying Is Still an Issue on Social (Infographic)."

SocialTimes. 4 Nov. 2015. Web. 19 Nov. 2015.
This website shows manly charts, rates, pictures and graph, David Cohen
wrote an article about the factors of why cyberbullying is still such a big issue. His
information is mainly geared to teens to show how much time they spend on social
media and the problems related to it. He demonstrates rates of bullying and
threating over the media as well. I would use some of his material in my essay,
because he provides a worthy understanding of general needed information.
Although I wouldnt use a lot since most of his article is viewed in photos.

[5] Davison, Christopher B, and Carl H Stein. "The Dangers of Cyberbullying." North
American Journal of Psychology. 14 Dec. 2014. Web. 19 Nov. 2015.
Christopher B and Carl H communicate the dangers of cyberbullying. This is
an ongoing issue and Christopher and Carl suggest we take a stand to protect and
make the social media a safer place. They would like to educate and make people
aware of what is happening. Their studies are showing us that cyberbullying is just
as dangerous as regular bullying, if not worse. Cyberbullying is increasing at a fast
rate and continues to worsen. I will include this website in my essay, I believe it has
a great indication of what needs to be fixed, it is a serious crime and it needs to be
stopped.
