Cyberbullying isn't just Online
Think before you type
Not as easy to prevent
Not being able to see your bully because it is online makes it much harder to try to prevent it.
It's different
Cyber Bullying isn't the same as regular bullying, it can happen all 24 hours of the day, all 7 days of the week.
Anonymously
Being a victim of cyber bullying can be very emotional. Cyber bullying can be anonymous and can spread very quickly rather than regular bullying.
