Cyber-bullying can take place on social media sites, such as Facebook and Twitter, over digital devices like cell phones and computers.?It includes behaviors like spreading lies and rumors to deliberately humiliate a targeted person, exerting language violence to victims, disclosing others’ privacy, etc. Unlike the traditional bullying, this electronic bullying can remain anonymous, which makes it difficult for the offender to be caught or punished.

Together, we can help conquer cyber-bullying and end this silent pandemic. 点评： 网络欺凌是网络时代的一种新现象，指人们利用互联网做出针对个人或群体的恶意伤害行为。文章第一段提出网络欺凌这一社会现象，指出其渠道和具体表现形式。第二段分析了网络欺凌盛行的原因及其危害性：这种形式的欺凌一般是匿名的，所以很难对欺凌者进行处罚；智能手机的流行也使得这一现象愈发严重；网络欺凌会给受欺凌者带来抑郁、焦虑、自尊心低下、辍学甚至有自杀倾向等严重后果。第三段就如何改善网络欺凌提出建议：开展相关的宣传运动；制定相关的法规；家长、老师和受害人共同努力。 deliberately humiliate意为“蓄意羞辱”；exert意为“用（某特质、技巧、压力等）；应用（某物）”；disclose意为“泄露”；an
