History
Cyberbullying stemmed from bullying. In the 1990s when computers became a popular household item, cyberbullying became relevant. Through online chatrooms and other platforms such as messaging boards, cyberbullying became the center for harassment and bullying in which repercussions were limited or non existent.
Many teen suicides were the result of cyberbullying and people knew something needed to be done to prevent this. In result to this, many US states were creating and passing laws that would help prevent cyberbullying. The troubles with the laws were separating freedom of speech with cyberbullying. With the spread of smart phones throughout the 2000s, cyberbullying became easier for bullies and more people were effected. Laws have been created to protect students against not only bullying but cyberbullying as well. Most school policies in US states include cyberbullying within their bullying policies.
