Specifically, Snapchat, Facebook, and Instagram tend to be the most common source of cyber bullying. The applications are much easier to spread negativity. On Snapchat, the pictures and chats disappear making it harder to find out who may have caused an issue. Snapchat is becoming well known for suicide. Not only does Snapchat provide an outlet to bullying, Facebook is prone to this too. The use of private messaging on the network allows users to send messages directly back and forth without the public seeing. The bully will only be known if the victim speaks up. Much like Facebook, Instagram allows the direct messaging that will provoke negative behavior. The bully will be able to stay somewhat anonymous on all the social media applications which can encourage the behavior to get worse. Every one in five students have reported to have been bullied using Instagram in regards to a survey done by Ditch the Label. Instagram allows people to make accounts that may be fake to be used with malicious intent. In addition, many people can receive negative comments on their posts. Tagging people in a post can be viewed as bullying if the photo is negative or offensive.
