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

As we must all probably know, bullying now just do not only happen during close encounters between victims and bullies, but also without needing those encounters for the act to happen.

As one of its many branches, cyberbullying has been proven to be one of the worst types--but the effects are just the same. Victims are also left on the usual state. They are also left on distress, but what makes it worse is that for the fact that it’s happening on such great medium which is the internet, it circulates very quickly and it’s so hard to stop, and sometimes, victims are suffering from the wrongdoings of faceless and nameless people scattered all over the internet.

Because of this fact, undeniably, apart from the Anti-Bullying Law that we already have, what we need is a more stronger and specific law that will help and support on our battle against cyberbullying.

If an Anti-Cyberbullying Act will come to be approved, then, those who’ve been so bold on treating other people poorly on the internet will finally have the right punishment that they deserve, users’ rights and safety will be protected, and victims of bullying will have new hope.

The approval and implementation of this act is a must, given the situation that our modern world is facing. But, aside from only relying on this once it becomes possible, we should remember that it would be here only as an aid, and if we really want to make changes, we must take actions. We must fight. Everything is still up on our own hands.
