For nearly 8 years, Twitter has been around, and the past few it has been where everyone goes to post what they are doing or how they are feeling that day.

Twitter has been a tool for much good in the world, but like any tool, it is also being used for immoral purposes.

Cyberbullying is becoming more and more of an issue as technology weaves it’s way into the lives of youth. Twitter is fertile ground for cyberbullying. It’s especially dangerous when someone has an account with- out their name attached to it, allowing people to avoid nearly all consequences of posting mean, embarrassing and hurtful things. But there are still plenty going around to others.

TXHS Screenshots, an anonymous Twitter user, decided they would try to get people from all over Texas to send them high school screenshots, to try and get some laughs.

Up until January 25, with over 6,800 followers and 760+ tweets, what was once used as a way for some to have fun, is now show- ing revealing and demeaning pictures of high schoolers, to thousands of people. The Twitter account mysteriously disappeared in late January, leading many to believe it has been banned for harassment accusations.

The account included tweets with pictures, ranging from demeaning photos of others, to embarrassing selfies – some of which were meant to be sent to single individuals as “Snaps”, have been seen by thousands of strangers. Along with those strangers are friends and even school staff sees them.

When it is still on the Internet, the account bio read: “ALL IN FUN…. No bullying.” Although the original intent might not have been as a platform to bully others, it clearly contained tweets that could be considered hurtful to others.

Tweets included revealing nudes along with attacking others on their fashion style.

I must not be the only one who believes this account was too reckless in what it posted otherwise it might still be on the Internet.

However, there are already multiple more accounts like this one. Some have also been blocked, but not all.

Although this one account is no longer on Twitter, many others like this will most likely continue to harass. Having the freedom to speak what we believe on social media sites, also brings the torture of cyber bullying.

The only way for it to stop is to take a stand and report it when it happens so it will stop in the future, and to avoid being the one who bullies others.
