What are the reasons for Cyberbullying

Cyberbullying is mostly done by students, it may occur for many reasons, sometimes people do it without even realising that they are harassing or harming another person just for the sake of their entertainment. Every person has a different reason for Cyberbullying.

Most students bully others because their friends may be doing it. When one wants to judge somebody, they can have a look at their friends, going with this theory we can say that if our friends are into bullying others, they would surely influence you into doing it as well, and since most students want to be ‘part of the group’ they would also involve themselves in it in order to have fun, people also feel powerful if they are bullying others and having a control over them.

Another reason for cyberbullying could be that it is very easy to get away with. Since talking to someone over a screen is easy, as the sender and the receiver cannot see each other, so the sender can stay anonymous and bully the victim without getting caught.

Cyberbullying may also be done out of revenge. Sometimes when a person has done something wrong to you, it is easy to get payback behind a screen without getting caught.
