How Cyberbullying Impact

Students
 Cyberbullying can result in serious
emotional problems for targets, including
anxiety, low self-esteem, depression,
stress, and suicide ideation. Those who
are cyberbullied can feel more
uncontrollability than those facing
traditional bullying, because they have
less control over who views the bullying
and less ability to make the bullying stop.
Motivations behind cyberbullying include a lack of
confidence or desire to feel better about themselves,
a desire for control, finding it entertaining, and
retaliation. Targets of cyberbullying have a greater
chance of becoming bullies themselves, as being
cyberbullied can lead to revenge bullying as a way
to cope. And, cyberbullies have a greater risk at
being bullied in return, resulting in a vicious cycle.
