      Abstract

      There is a difference between Democrats and Republicans on their philosophy on laws and government interventions. The general purpose of the study is to investigate a) if there is a difference in the percentage of students who were electronically bullied in Democrat states and Republican states and b) if there is a correlation between the percentage of students who were electronically bullied and the percentage of students who seriously considered suicide. The results of the independent samples t-tests indicate that female students in Democrat states are less likely to be cyberbullied than in Republican states (although this did not apply to male students). The results of the linear regression analysis indicate that once students are cyberbullied, both males and females, they will seriously consider suicide. Therefore, the problem of suicidal thoughts may be influenced through the control of cyberbullying. Cyberbullying can be controlled through appropriate laws supported by the political party.

      INTRODUCTION

      Introduction to the Problem

      Cyberbullying and Unguarded Teens

      According to the Center for the Digital Future, the time that Americans spend on the Internet has increased dramatically in recent years (Lebo, 2010). Evidently, electronic communications provide a new form of interaction that enables users to interact with other people more conveniently. Indeed, the innovation of the Internet has benefited Americans in ways like never before. However, regardless of the conveniences, online interactions also have risks. Because of the teenagers’ increased use of social media, they are especially vulnerable to these risks.

      Several studies suggest that teenagers are largely victimized by their Internet experiences (Kowalski, Limber & Agatston, 2012; Lenhart, 2009, 2010). The use of social media with portable devices like cell phones, for instance, endangers teenagers, who often do not protect their personal information. Predators steal their personal information from social media, which causes the teenagers harm.
