--范文参考--

In the modern world, online forms of communication are used regularly to connect with friends, acquaintances, and strangers. On the downside of this phenomenon, however, is that bullying now takes place on the Internet, instead of in the playground.

This essay will outline some of the reasons why certain individuals participate in cyberbullying and describe how the victims are negatively affected.

在现代社会，人们经常使用在线交流方式与朋友、熟人和陌生人联系。然而，这种现象的缺点是，欺凌现在发生在互联网上，而不是操场上。本文将概述一些个人参与网络欺凌的原因，并描述受害者是如何受到负面影响的。

In terms of the reasons for this phenomenon, many children bully others simply for entertainment.

Bullies can also boost their ego and popularity by testing one of their peers.

This behavior has become more common online because teenagers feel they are anonymous on the Internet and therefore believe they will not be caught or punished.

Another reason is to get revenge on one of their peers. For example, if a student feels slighted or insulted at school, they may take to the Internet to get their own back.

Again, this is because they feel that parents and teachers will not be aware of their actions if they take place online.

就造成这种现象的原因而言，许多孩子欺负别人只是为了娱乐。恃强凌弱者也可以通过考验他们的同伴来提升他们的自尊心和受欢迎程度。这种行为在网上变得越来越普遍，因为青少年觉得他们在网上是匿名的，因此相信他们不会被抓住或惩罚。另一个原因是为了报复他们的同伴。例如，如果一个学生在学校感到被轻视或侮辱，他们可能会上网报复。再一次，这是因为他们觉得家长和老师不会意识到他们的行为，如果他们发生在网上。

However, this kind of behavior can have a detrimental impact on the victim.

Most obviously, it may result in low self-esteem as the victim will feel humiliated in front of the entire work if they are bullied in public online. This can lead to depression, addiction to drugs or alcohol, and, in extreme cases, suicide.

Another negative effect on the victim is that they might find it hard to communicate with others.

The reason for this is that they may fear that their words will be twisted and used against them, no matter what they say.

As a result, some students simply shut down and become isolated from the rest of society.

然而，这种行为会对受害者产生不利影响。最明显的是，这可能会导致低自尊，因为受害者会觉得在整个工作面前丢脸，如果他们在公共场合在网上受到欺负。这会导致抑郁、吸毒或酗酒，在极端情况下还会导致自杀。对受害者的另一个负面影响是，他们可能会发现很难与他人沟通。这样做的原因是，他们可能害怕自己的话会被曲解，被用来反对他们，不管他们说什么。结果，一些学生干脆闭门不出，与社会脱节。

In conclusion, cyberbullying, in particular, is on the increase due to the anonymity the Internet provides, but the negative effects on victims on victims can be disastrous.

Therefore, schools, and parents must be properly trained to be able to identify this kind of behavior and intervene before tragedy strikes.  

总之，网络欺凌，特别是，由于互联网提供的匿名性，正在增加，但对受害者的负面影响对受害者可能是灾难性的。因此，必须对学校和家长进行适当的培训，使他们能够识别这种行为，并在悲剧发生之前进行干预。
