Bullying has become more dangerous than ever. With new technologies, it has become easier to anonymously harass your peers, and even complete strangers. Cyberbullying [the act of harassing someone using the internet and/or social media] can be one of the most dangerous forms of bullying in this day and age. Bullies can become anonymous online; modern technology is being used the hide the abuser's face, but not their words.
