Cyber bullying has become increasingly easy due to the increase of technology, the easy access to the technology and the vast number of people involved in these technologies for social reasons. Mobile phones and internet messaging(s) are the easiest ways to cyber bully people, particularly due to the fact that the victims are reluctant to withdraw from this community because of its social opportunities (it gives them an opportunity to talk to other people, not just bullies). However, this helps the bullies because it gives them easy access to the victim 24/7. It also makes the bully feel more safe as there is no direct physical contact and there is a general assumption that nothing bad can happen if you didnt 'really' do it (some people find the differenciation between internet and real life hard).
