This article covers the subject of the danger of the Internet, its effects on people, their workplace, employers, and exclusively cyber bullying.  The author’s purpose of this article is to warn us that cyber bullying can happen to anyone, not just teenagers but adults, too.  With this, we have to be careful what we post online, because posts can be spread and read very quickly by people.  In this article, Kleinfeld points out that girls are more likely to be victims of cyber bullying, based upon the Pew Internet and American Life Project.  Also, more than 1 in 10 teenagers said someone has spread a rumor about them online.  Kleinfeld explains about cyber bullying, how it is dangerous by using a real life situation through a girl named Megan.  She hung herself because she was cyber bullied.  Cyber bullying is very serious that it should be stopped.  This is something significant that we should all pay attention to, so we will know what to do if were in these kind of situations.  Social Media is a great place for communications, on the other hand, can sometimes harm others.
