So if people have seen the
possible outcomes of
cyber bullying, why is it so
appealing to so many people? Why is it on
the rise?

Reason # 1
The technology is
so easily available!!
![Page 8: Why is Cyber Bullying on the Rise?](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062310/5681623c550346895dd27095/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)

MySpace or Facebook
page!

Reason # 2
Bullies can remain
completely anonymous.
![Page 11: Why is Cyber Bullying on the Rise?](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062310/5681623c550346895dd27095/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Fake accounts on MySpace and Facebook
are created – so you have no idea who is doing the bullying.
45.5 percent of victims cannot identify who is
doing the cyber bullying.
Being able to remain anonymous means the bully doesn’t have to
feel guilty if the victim is visibly upset.Kowalski, Robin, Susan Limber. "Electronic Bullying Among Middle School Students".

Reason # 4
Lack of Supervision

=Parents don’t realize cell
phones need to be monitored the same way a child’s computer is monitored.Cell phones are the
new PC.

Reason # 5
Victims are not likely to report
the abuse.

Kids are afraid parents will take away their
Internet privileges, so they don’t tell.
Students aren’t supposed to be on cell phones during
the school day. They don’t want to
get in trouble.
Students don’t feel like teachers will
help.

Final Thoughts
We have to intervene
whether the bullying takes place at school
or not!

Final Thoughts
20 years ago, 250 British
inmates were surveyed…

Of those inmates, most
had been bullies or victims of bullying in school…

When those who were bullied
complained…
