Is social media a good thing, or is it just a way for cyber-bullying to occur? How to prevent rude comments?

There's going to be bullying everywhere. It's just how life is. If there was no social media, people would still bully in person. You can't stop it from happening. If you're gonna be on the Internet you're going to have to get used to it and not let it affect you. You can't prevent mean comments, but you can prevent it from affecting you. Cyber bullies are idiots and cowards hiding behind a computer screen. If you met them in person, they wouldn't have the guts to say half the stuff they say online.
