YouTube

is one. It seems harmless. It's just videos right? What could be so bad about that? Putting videos up that were taken without others knowing or consenting is one way that YouTube

can be misused. You may think they are funny, but if someone even jokes about saying no to them being uploaded, it could make them feel self-conscious

without anyone realizing it. Beyond the videos are the comments. All of the opinion and free speech statements that people express tend to usually be hurtful and ignorant of things they say to feel superior.

Tumblr

is another. It is blogging

site where its users can post anything from text and pictures to quotes and links. While bullying can occur on any site, Tumblr's

"ask a question" feature allows questions to be asked anonymously, adding to the amount of hate mail that is sent. Not everyone will say inappropriate things when the other person knows who it is, but when given the option to hide their identity, most people find bullying easier when they remain anonymous, like this website, Answers.com,

at some times.

Twitter for some people, has become an online

diary. The difference between this and a personal diary is an obvious one: anyone can see it if it is online.

The number of teens with depression, anxiety, and those living with a self-conscious

attitude is rising. Subtweeting

(tweeting about someone in a vague way and not mentioning their name) adds to the insecurities that many teens face. Purposefully trying to make someone feel bad about themselves starts another cycle when a subtweet

in sent intentionally for someone to see. That's when cyber

bullying has won again.
