In some cases yes, but in most no, but if you are a victim or you know someone who is, contact the police. In my personal opinion, it depends on who is doing the bullying and how severe it is. If the bully has never actually met the person he or she is hurting then no physical contact should come to the victim. When it comes to a cyber bully on Facebook or other sites like it then most likely the bully would have to be someone acquainted with the victim and then there is a good chance it could become physical. On the other hand, the bully may only bully him or her online because they aren't strong enough to say it to the person's face. Most of the time he or she is just being a bully to raise his or her own self esteem which will only be a temporary high. If the cyber bullying does start to increase and sound threatening then I would recommend to anyone who has this problem to tell someone about it immediately. Even a little teasing is not a laughing matter if it hurts someone's feelings.
