Victim is a word that has used to define when a person has been affected by a traumatic matter in ones lives. My parents are always harping on me about getting scholarships and doing well in school when I have always struggled staying in focus. Money has also been an issue in our family. Gratefully, my brother got a full-ride to college so he doesn't have a financial burden waiting for him at the end of his schooling.

Overcoming the fact of having to see him every single day and not going up to him and joking around as we always do would just hurt me so much. I invested so much time into him and I felt confident about everything I told him. I trusted him with all my heart, and I will always want the best for him. Plenty of people say that you will never talk to the people you used to talk to in high school, but I truly thought that we would overcome adversity and be best friends forever. While in the process of losing my best friend, my image was ruined by his other best friends and was put up on Snapchat for everyone to see. I felt betrayed because I put all my trust into him and for that to be altered really did hurt me. I was never a victim to any form of bullying or anything before, but to become a victim to something that is a constant problem for the teenagers in my generation. Cyber bullying is an ongoing problem in today’s society and in my future career of being a person that will put things out there for the whole world to see is a problem I would really like to conquer and have it come to an end because nobody deserves to feel bad about them. Everyone has a purpose in like and that shouldn't be taken away with some words that people have

In future the victim precipitation is behavior by a victim that initiates subsequent behavior of the victimizer and the degree to which victim is responsible for own victimization Early attempts at studying victim behavior involved the development of typologies that allowed victimol-ogists to determine who was most responsible for the criminal incident offender or victim.

Imagine an unpopular student, getting bullied and picked on at school. Going home after a long day feels like a blessing for that child. However, upon turning on their phone, they realize it has been bombarded with cruel messages and images.
