Last but not least, article five of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights states <br />that no one should be the victim of cruel or degrading treatment. One of the most <br />common violations of this right with me and my peers is cyber - bullying. Cyber - bullying <br />is when someone posts hurtful images or texts online aimed at harming an individual. It <br />can be emotionally crushing and degrading, especially when it is severe. In too many of <br />the most serious cases, this has even driven victims to commit suicide. Based on a survey <br />by iSafe, an internet safety organization for teens, 40% of students have had their <br />passwords hacked by bullies. Though cyber- bullying isn't physical, it is as real as any <br />other form of bullying, and is a definite violation of the right not to be treated cruelly. <br />These rights belong to everyone, no matter who they are. Unfortunately, human <br />rights are violated every day. My peers, my school, my community and I are affected <br />every day, not only by the rights to education, no cruel treatment, and no discrimination, <br />but by all thirty of the human rights. If human rights were universally accepted, the <br />world would be a place where people could live together in peace. <br />
