2. BULLYING VS. CYBERBULLYING
• BULLYING
• Face-to-face
• Victims are able to find a place to get
away.
• Not as many people can see who is
being bullied.
• The bully will be able to get caught
much faster.
• They can see the reactions of both the
bully and the victim.
• CYBERBULLYING
• Happens 24/7
• They can’t get away from the bullying.
• It’s shared by anyone who bothers to
look at the words and photos being
posted online.
• Most people can’t find who the bully is
• Hard to see the reactions of the bully
and victim.
• No limits; they just go as far as they
want.
• Its more likely that the victim will now
become the bully.

5. WHY IS CYBERBULLYING IN THE NEW?
• It makes it easier for kids to bully.
• Text messages, photos taken with cell phone, Facebook, email and YouTube are
ways the kids can bully each other. This is made it easier for them to get access to
others.
• They don’t have to be in the same room as the one they’re bullying; which makes it
