Yes Cause of bullying and cyberbullying

Bullying
Bullying is when people deliberately use words or actions repeatedly against an individual or a
group to cause physical, social and/or psychological harm. They usually want to make the person feel
less powerful or helpless.
1. Bullied themselves:
Someone who bullies others might have experienced bullying -- maybe by their parents, their
abusing step-siblings, or even from someone in their neighborhood. Bullies
as a result of their perception of what’s happened to them, and they want to pay that negativity
forward.
2. Seeking social attention:
Bullies are often lonely. So they try to find attention in any way they can, even if that means
hampering someone’s mental health or causing them physical health problems.
3. Frustration or envy:
Bullies may bully people who are doing better than them at something, be it grades or athletic
accomplishments or promotions at work. The bullies look to undermine the other person’s skills with
acts of aggression only to level the playing field. Bullies often lack, so there’s a lot of comparison
being done in their heads, and that leads to frustration and envy.
4. Shame:
This occurs when the person bullying is ashamed by their low intellect or lack of ability to succeed in
whatever they try. They get frustrated by their failure and resultantly take it out on the other person
with acts of aggression. Bullies often lack, as well.
5. The decline of disagreement:
This is a trickier one. Oftentimes in online discourse, a simple disagreement may be flagged by one
person as “hate,” as opposed to an opportunity for future learning and discussion. When “hate” can
be virtually anything, the term bully can be misappropriated to mean simply “someone you don’t like
the views of” as opposed to an actual, true bully. The confusion around semantics is a cause for the
perceived rise of bullying, as well.
6. Gender norms:
Males are more likely to have bullied another person. While it is common for us to encourage
females to talk about their problems and accept visual emotions, Without the outlet of healthy
communication and displays of emotion, males can revert to aggressive behavior.
Cyberbullying
Cyberbullying is bullying that takes place over digital devices like cell phones, computers, and
tablets. Cyberbullying can occur through text and apps, or online in social media, forums, or gaming
where people can view, participate in, or share content. Cyberbullying includes sending, posting, or
sharing negative, harmful, false, or mean content about someone else. It can include sharing
personal or private information about someone else, causing embarrassment or humiliation. Some
cyberbullying crosses the line into unlawful or criminal behavior.
1.Revenge:
Some people develops the idea of bullying
others as a result of bringing victims when older siblings or parents bully an individual; they may
feel offended. For them to be equal, and the perpetrators cannot have the courage to bully the
people who bullied them, they use digital tools to intimidate others.Cyber bullying is turned to what
happens in the real world, but now it is carried through media.
2.Jealously:
When an individual may turn to be successful in their lives, this may draw the attention of the
individual, and they feel frustrated to the point of becoming jealous. With this feeling, they express it
by bullying others to undermine the valuable attributes of the individuals.Especially famous people
when they popular.They will have a hater.Those hater are going to find something bad about you to
make you down.
3.Empathy
Lack of understanding or empathy of that causes cyber-buying, this is impacted by the personality
attributes like low understanding. This causes individuals to develop a bias towards a certain race,
religion, or sexual gender. People with these personalities will justify their hatred by exercising
cyber-bullying.
4.Another cause:
Cyber-bullying is the desire to create attention some of the perpetrators who exercise bully activities
do not consider themselves as being bullies. They have a notion that they only do that a way to tease
peoples a bit to become friends or communicate with the people they are bullying. The perpetrators
can attain their planned purpose only by drawing the attention of the victims. Dysfunctional families
are another cause of cyber bullying according to several studies, it has been discovered that most of
the bullies originate from homes that lack openness and affection.
Finally
Most perpetrators get into bullying, intending to gain control over other individuals by instilling fear.
Upon instilling fear among individuals, the bullies acquire powers to control individuals; these
efforts lead the perpetrators to increase their bullying exercises. Most of the bullies practice these
activities to gain recognition from their peers and age groups They believe that by bullying, they are
more acknowledged even when they know that it is not ethical behaviour.
T​he Tyler Clementi Case (1991 – 2010)
It was during the summer after his high school graduation that 18yearold Tyler Clementi began
sharing that he was gay. Clemenit’s room mate during his freshman year at Rutgers University,
Dharun Ravi, used a webcam in September 2010 to stream footage of Clementi kissing another man.
According to t​he Tyler Clementi Foundation,​the teenager learned through his room mate’s Twitter
feed that he had become “a topic of ridicule in his new social environment.” On September 22, 2010,
Clementi committed suicide by jumping off the George Washington Bridge.
Aftermath:
Less than a week after Clementi’s death, Ravi and Molly Wei, the hallmate whose computer Ravi
used to spy on Clementi, were charged with invasion of privacy. In May 2011, Reuters reported that
Wei entered a plea deal requiring that she testify against Ravi. A jury convicted Ravi on 15 criminal
charges, and he earned early release 20 days after beginning a 30day jail sentence.
