Summary:
In "The Dangers of Cyberbullying" by Christopher Davison and Carl Stein, the issues of social media come to light.  The authors address how the internet is becoming a dangerous place for children.  They state that adolenence is one of the major stages in life that is most critical for development.  Also they address how cyberbullying is becoming an issue in several schools across the country.  Overall the authors believe that cyberbullying is a serious problem that mostly needs to be addressed and needs awareness.

Response:
I agree that the internet has become more than a source of information or communication.  Because of the sudden rise of the social media frenzy, several new issues have arised.  Most commonly cyberbullying for kids in school, especially seen in high school.  Cyberbullying has been in the news a lot recently because of the many suicides from online bullying.  I also think that it is important for people to be understanding of what victims of cyberbullying go through.  The lack of face to face contact doesn't downplay the things being said.
