After studying different cases of cyber bullying I asked this question from myself : "Why people do this? How they dare to insult each other like this? Why the cyber bullying cases become more important than traditional bullying???".
I think a reason can be the nature of the written communication. When you send a message or write an email, you can insult or threat the receiver easily because you wont receive back the answer immediately. Imagine you want to tell your friend that you hate him face to face , you will think that what he will do after that. Cry?? , Slap you?? whatever it is , you prefer to send him a SMS or email to avoid the immediate feedback.
Another reason that people think that they have the anonymity advantage in the cyber space. In many cases offenders didn't estimate that they will be caught. So this idea help them to the things that they wont do in the real world......
I do believe that the only way to prevent cyber bullying is education. People should know that the consequences and conditions of doing the wrong things in the cyber space is same an even more than the real world...
