Traditional bullying vs Cyberbullying


Since the boom of technology in the past decade or so, there is an interesting, and sometimes devastating new relationship between technology and bullying. It is very different between cyberbullying and traditional bullying because people can use the disguise of anonymity to harass thier victims in online, so it is very easy set up face accounts and bully as anonymously.
Because anonymous comments and actions aren’t connected to the individuals doing the bullying, they are free to do as they please without repercussions.Similarly, people choose to target victims who live far away.Bullying can also occur when people send messages or posting that do not give the name of a person but contain sufficient information for readers to figure out who the post is intended for that
are posted to social networking sites like facebook.

In conclusion, cyberbullying is more danger than traditional danger because cyberbullies on the internet can now hide behind their computer screens and false identities so more harmful and unlike traditional playground bullying, cyberbullying can be done at any time, from any location, and possibly worst of all, can be completely anonymous.
