Persuasive Essay

Apart from Anti-Bullying Act, why should there be a separate law that focuses on cyber bullying? 

     In the Anti-Bullying Act of 2013 it's main objective is to protect children especially students. The law protects students from kindergarten to secondary levels. Bullying is  a distinctive pattern of harming and humiliating others, specifically those who are in some way smaller, weaker and younger or in any way vulnerable to the bully. This is why the Anti-Bullying Act of 2013 was passed, to protect those who are in need and to stop the behavior of bullying. If this kind of action can be done, why not make another separate law that focuses on cyber bullying? Cyber bullying is frequently associated with psychological distress. Victims of cyber bullying tend to have increased rates of depression, anxiety and insomnia and more likely to engage in suicide. So who are going to help them? Who are going to defend them? What is going to help them? 

     If there would be another law to be passed that focuses on cyber bullying then the idea of stopping the act of cyber bullying is possible. I myself believe that there should be a separate law for cyber bullying. I believe that if this can be done there would be hope for the victims and they would feel protected and their fear will be gone.
