Cyber bullying and bullying??

Question

Compare cyber bullying and bullying How is it the same? How is it different?

Answer 1

Cyber Bullying is over the internet. Ex: if you are on your myspace and someone harasses you and makes fun of you but you dont actually have physical contact with that person.

Bullying is where you usually have contact with that person or people

Answer 2

"Bullies usually have a sense of entitlement and superiority over others, and lack compassion, impulse control and social skills. They enjoy being cruel to others and sometimes use bullying as an anger management tool, the way a normally angry person would punch a pillow."

I think both share the above traits (see link to article below).

As the above answerer said, being anonymous gives the bully even more "courage" to take out their frustrations on others.

I find the amount of cyber bullying that happens on Y!A to be astounding (some sections like this one more than others).

I don't agree that there is NO potential for physical violence with cyber bullying... I don't remember the details but in the news a few months ago was a "mom" who impersonated the boyfriend of a girl and I believe resulted in the girl's suicide.

Answer 3

Bullies are actually cowards, they only bully people who are weaker than them and the ones they dare to do it on.

Cyberbullying make use of technologies like internet to do bad things on people like sending an blackmail to a known person using a anonymous background so the victim wouldn't know who did it. This cyberbullier is just even more coward.

Bulliers sucks!

and we shall say no to them. Don't you people agree?

Answer 4

Answer 5

Are people braver over the internet with no face to face contact? Is it more anonymous?

In real life, is there a risk of physical violence? Are there more likely to be gangs of people as well as individuals?
