Cyberbullying invades homes,
![Page 11: Bullying:](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070421/568161b8550346895dd1874c/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
People write things online that they wouldn't say in person.
No one can tell if the person Is lying by looking at him or her.
Cyberbullying Has No Limits.
![Page 12: Bullying:](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070421/568161b8550346895dd1874c/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Emails making fun of someone can be sent “everywhere”,
or
posted on a website for the whole world to see.
Cyberbullying = Bigger Audience
![Page 13: Bullying:](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070421/568161b8550346895dd1874c/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Cyberbullies often hide behind screen names and
email addresses that don't identify who they are.
Not knowing who is responsible for bullying messages can add to a victim's
insecurity.
Cyberbullying can be anonymous.

It may seem easy to get away from a cyberbully by just getting offline, but for some people not going online takes away one of the major places they socialize.
It steals social opportunities. It steals that sense of knowing you have someplace else to talk to someone in a private environment.
Cyberbullying may seem inescapable.
