Social Media and others like Gaming

Apps around the world give kids access to communicate and express their creativity. However this can be a problem though because this is where cyberbullying occurs. Sadly to say there are many free apps that allow people to post and chat anonymously. Parents might not be aware what apps there child is using and what is happening on their phone. Kids are good at hiding things especially if they are being cyberbullied. There are many apps out there that make it easier for kids so they have access to adult or harmful contact. Settings within privacy make it more vulnerable for kids to be cyberbullied or stalked.
