Differences between Cyberbullying and Cyberstalking

 In my opinion, Cyberbullying and Cyberstalking are same in a way that they both are inappropriate and harass or disturb a victim in some ways or the other.

Cyberbullying

 Cyberbullying is usually done with children and teenagers, where one makes fun of the other, uses abusive language, sending inappropriate messages or pictures, or tries to make the victim’s morale down.

Cyberstalking
Cyberstalking basically means when one person is obsessed with the other, follows them around the internet, and keeps tracks of their activities in a disturbing manner. ‘Cyberstalkers’ are often people that are psychologically disturbed, have an obsessive compulsory disorder. They are aware of their victim’s every move both on the internet and the outside world. Cyberstalkers are mainly people who suffer a relationship with their victim or may hate the victim due to any reason.

Due to these reasons cyberstalking mainly occurs in adults, whereas cyberbullying occurs in children and teenagers. Most adults do not bully others as they believe it to be unnecessary and wastage of time, adults bully way less than children and teenagers do at school.

In your opinion,what do you think the difference is between Cyberbullying and Cyberstalking?
