Best Answer

Both bullying and cyber-bullying are done to hurt the person the bullying is aimed at. Bullying includes physical and/or emotional harm. Cyber-bullying is typically only emotional bullying.Constantly being insulted and make fun of or threatened to be hurt (or actually being hurt) can make a person feel inadequate and they may even believe the cruel words of the bully.

They then internalize the insults which can eventually cause depression. They may also feel alone like they are having to face the pain without support. These feelings of isolation can also lead to depression. And lastly, when they reach out for help and no one helps end the bullying, they may feel as others do not care and this can also cause depression.


If you or anyone you know is being bullied, either online or offline, tell a trusted adult. Don't let it continue and remember, don't allow the bully control over your emotions
