Cyber
Bullying is still considered as a very new phenomenon in comparison with
traditional bullying which has emerged for a long time, and there are
differences between the two phenomena. The main difference between the
two forms of harassment is that where physical power is an essential
composition of traditional bullying, computer proficiency alone is enough to
empower one to commit such acts online. The other is that Face to face bullying
or traditional bullying depends on verbal and physical form which demonstrates
that the victims of this kind of harassment may use physical aggressions in
comparison with Cyber Bullying which relies on electronic devices like
computers, mobiles, and other tools in order to bully someone. Hinduja S,
and Patchin J. W. (2009). Cyberbullying Prevention and Response, Expert
Perspectives.
Those who bully others online are actually
weak in the reality. So they use social media as a mean to show up that they
are strong and can do and say whatever they want. They may also be victims of
face to face bullying and choose social media as a space to take revenge. “Since
there is seemingly very little supremacy difference in cyber bullying, students
who are disempowered in the real world or are victims of face to face bullying,
may resort to aggression through anonymity or fake identities”. Brown,
K., Jackson, M., and Cassidy, W. (2006). Cyber-bullying: developing
policy to direct responses
Cyber Bullying
cannot be defined and recognized when it occurs. It is anonymous
and it may happen at any time as well as place. Cyber Bullying tends to
menace a lot of people who use electronic devices especially the group of
children and adults, because it is common with a wide audience and it is
unknown while happening. That means the victims of this phenomenon are not able
to recognize where and when they will be bullied by the aggressor up to later
time meanwhile the assaulter could not see the reaction of their victims while
traditional bullying can be seen and felt. Bauman, S. (2009). Cyberbullying
