Different from traditional bullying,

amplified when cyberbullying

why cyberbullying has become
more popular.
Role of Publicity
Since cyberbullying is more public
than traditional bullying, it is more
embarrassing for the victim.
Role of Anonymity

There is anonymity in bullying behind a screen


name, computer screen, or cell phone. From a
cyberbullied individual's perspective,
anonymous cyberbullying increases feelings of
loneliness, fear, and persistent worrying about
the perpetrator's identity.
Features of the Medium
Because the targets have no control over what is posted on
sites, or what is said about them, they may feel hopeless and
helpless because they are unable to remove the material. Plus,
even when it gets removed, there are hundreds of people who
have already seen it.
Role of the Bystander
Since cyberbullying is very public, there are
several more bystanders than with traditional
bullying. This increases the impact of the
bullying because it's more embarrassing.
