Pro's and Con's of social networking sites encouraging cyberbullying

With my topic many Pro's and Con's have accured while researching. The main points were that social networking sites Help is communicate better. That isn't nessicarily true. When it comes to networking sites have almost ruined our communication skills because everything is done online. Working on my topic this almost allows to say things that we wouldn't normally say in person. Such as rude and cruel comments but this is debatable because most people think that these networking sites have allowed to see into the minds of other people. As a generation we have become over-obsessed with our emotions. We've been told to share our "feelings" and that has become the mains focus of our day, because of this we think that everybody wants to know every thought that races through our mind. This can lead to kind messages but last year 15 year-old Pheobe Prince committed activist after enduring not only physical and emotional bullying but also gresume cyberbullying. Sites like formspring, myspace, and facebook give people a public place to humiliate people. It's not longer just bring pushed on the playground or having sand thtown on you it's people calling names over facebook or posting creul messages on facebook. That has become this generations version of actual "bullying"
