Cyber bullying is the use of the technology to harass, threaten, embarrass, or target another person. Most of it happens happen to young people. But, when an adult is involved, it does not call as cyber bullying but known as cyber-harassment or cyber stalking which this crime can have legal consequences and involve jail time.
Cyber bullying is the same as the other type of bully except it happens online and through messages sent to the cell phones. It can be happen to anyone, maybe done by someone that the person knows well or it can be anonymous. It can be happen accidently where one person’s joke could be another’s hurtful insult. Sometimes we do not event realize that we are involve in cyber bully.
According to Sanders (2011), Cyber bullying and traditional bullying are related.

According to Sanders (2011), Cyber bullying and traditional bullying are related.
- Almost 70% of cyberbullies also bullied in real life (“allround bullies”). Of them, more than half bullied the same victim in both ways.
- The remaining 30% of cyberbullies bullied only in the cyberworld (“pure bullies”). Cyberbullies do have experience with traditional bullying, however only as a bully; they had little experience with victimization.
"Pure cyber bullies did not match the profile of a 'typical' traditional bully, who is often dominant, popular, but disliked. These results support the idea that a different group of adolescents is able to bully in cyberspace. However, pure cyber bullies also shared characteristics with all around bullies. they did not differ in levels of empathy, social intelligence, relational aggression, or school achievement. neither did they differ in the motives for their bullying behavior" (Sanders, 2011)
