This research done by several psychologists show the positive as well as negative influences on children caused by media. The research showed, that children in a really young age cannot learn from screens. Whereas, the teenagers can learn from their screens a lot. But the research also shown, that children can learn the most from face-to-face, if they communicate and interact with another person. On the other hand, they do not deny that children cannot learn anything through the media, on the contrary, if they learn to use the media properly, they can learn a lot.

When most people think of bullying they think of bullying that takes place in person, usually at schools. Cyberbullying is less talked about but is extremely important especially in today's time because many young people are on the internet. In a way I think cyberbullying can be worse because it is not just people in your school but people from all over that are saying things about you. I think these articles are very informative and give great information about what exactly cyberbullying is, how violence in the media influences children, and positive and negative effects of the media on children. I think it is important to focus on the effects on children because they are in a stage in their life where they are easily influenced; what they learn as children will transfer to what they learn and believe as adults.
