This is a complex question likely best answered more by some one with a social background then me, but I will give it a shot.
With the modern increase in reliance on social media such a myspace, facebook and twitter to name a few we find ourselves increasingly exposed to a wider audience and circle of friends then we might have without such things.
Because of the natural anonymous nature of the internet and lack of face to face communication it makes it easier to make cruel or otherwise scathing remarks at a distance because one does not need to see the repercussions of such activities. This is especially true in situations where TRUE anonymous communication is possible, such as the IRC or over some chat mediums.
The only way to truly avoid cyberbullying (and I dislike this term) is to not participate in such social media. The other alternative is to limit your social media exposure to people you know and trust by use of privacy settings. Limit your social circle to those whom you know in real life and whom are close to you and you'll likely reduce, if not eliminate your exposure to "bullying" in these cases.
The other alternative is to recognize that cyberbullying is as effective as you let it be. Without reacting, you fail to give the bully his or her "reward" which is a response in a negative or emotional spectrum. With no positive reinforcement of his or her behavior, the bully eventually looses interest and goes away. Choose to not let it bother you and rise above it.
Hope this helps!
