- It gives the bully an opportunity to do other things like make a fake profile and pretend to be you or bully in person (Inserrsa, 2018).
-Deleting your social media accounts can
give children a sense of isolation from the rest of the world,
being that
today’s world is centered over the Internet and technology
(Inserra, 2018).
Argument #2: Some people still say
that being a
victim of cyber bullying is not as bad as regular bullying.
They say since there
are no other people around to see their reactions and the pain
(mentally or
physically) that it is less humiliating and easier to deal
with.
- This shift from face-to-face
communication to online communication has created a unique
and potentially harmful dynamic for social relationship,
which is only becoming worse because of our rapid
technological advancements. Cyber bullying can be just as
bad as face to face bullying as the victim is vulnerable
24/7 and has no safe haven (Nixon, 2014).
- "Perpetrators of cyber bullying do
not see the faces of their targets, and subsequently
may not understand the full consequences of their actions,
thereby decreasing important feelings of personal
accountability. This has often been referred to
in the literature as the “disinhibition effect.”"(Nixon,
2014).
