Why do people become cyberbullies?

Answer 1

People Cyberbully because they feel more powerful. Bullies are powerless, but once the bully sees a reaction they continue to bully because they feel they have power. If we act weakly the bullies will start to bully the person more. People can also cyberbully because others have done the same to them or they can be influenced by others. Cyberbullying can lead to many things.....

If you are being cyberbully Online:

* Tell a parent/guardian

* Don't listen to what the bully says to you (they are just doing this to feel powerful)

* If you have them on a contact list on e.g Skype, Facebook, twitter etc.... BLOCK THEM!

* Tell a friend or adult you trust

* If you attend school, tell a teacher or principle

Answer 2

Some People (young teenagers in particular) can be emotionally affected by cyberbullying, but others cyberbully each other because they can, they don't feel as though they can get hurt. it makes them feel 'big'

You see it all the time on social networking sites, and alot of the time those people who are 'slagging' each other off, won't even attempt it to their face because as I believe, all bullys are cowards, and cyberbullying seems to be the easiest way to try and hurt someone they don't like. But in the real world they can't own up and come face to face with each other....... pathetic behaviour!

Answer 3
