  6. Cyberbullying made my high school life feel like the worst part of my life. Now that I am 25, I still experience cyberbullying and wonder when the world is going to finally look at itself and realize what is happening. Children are dying because of this. When will the pain stop?

    1. Unfortunately, it is impossible to prevent cyber bullying. It's like driving on a highway: You do not know who is going to intentionally wreck you even though they know the consequences of reckless driving. You can avoid cyber bullying, but you have to be constantly aware that there will always be bullies. Just be "cyber smart" when you engage in the world social media.

  16. How do you begin a cause and effect essay? Begin with your thesis statement. It should state the event, phenomenon, or trend that you want to explore in your essay. All of the other paragraphs should begin with topic sentences that explore one of the cause and effect aspects. There needs to be a clear relationship between the effects and the causes of the topic you choose. Steps to follow:
    • List down possible effects and causes related to your topic.
    • Create a stunning outline
    • Compose the introduction
    • Make strong arguments
    • Make your thesis clear
    • Sum it up
    • Organize your essay
