Why this petition matters

As the internet grew in popularity, so did cyberbullying. What makes you think that? Because the internet is nothing more than a big community of users, social psychology principles of group aggressiveness can explain the rise of cyberbullying. The first concept to examine is that the larger the group, the less each member feels responsibility for the activities of the group. The internet spreads the blame for cyberbullying across a huge number of people, making it simpler for everyone to take part. The second point to remember is that organizations encourage deindividuation. This indicates that individuals are less self-aware and are no longer afraid of being judged by others. 

It is critical to emphasize that cyberbullies are not directly responsible for a person's suicide. People who commit suicide frequently have a history of mental illness. Suicide is caused by mental disease, not by the actions of a single person. Cyberbullying is merely a source of tension that can lead to a mental health episode. That does not excuse cyberbullying.

SO STOP BULLYING, BULLYING IS NOT GOOD.
