Cyberbullying, also called cyberbullying or virtual harassment, is the use of digital media to persecute and harass a person or a group of people, through personal attacks such as threats, harassment, humiliation or any another kind of publication of intimate information through the means of telematic communication technologies, such as mobile telephony, the internet, online video games, social networks, among others. This can lead to a criminal offense. Cyberbullying involves frequent, repetitive harm processed through electronic means. Bullying incites victims emotional anxiety, restlessness, and has no genuine intention for deliberate communication.
Cyberbullying can be carried out in different ways, either in a way:
- Constant: Digital data senders or receivers support continuous and incessant communication throughout the day, making it difficult to obtain peace of mind for children, adolescents or adults who are victims of bullying.
- Persistent: most of the information that is shared by these electronic means is public and permanent if the account is not deleted or reported. Likewise, they can obtain a negative reputation on the Internet, even for persecutors, it can mark them and have a serious impact on the reception to universities, jobs and other daily things in life.
- Difficult to perceive: it is likely that parents and teachers cannot see or hear about cyberbullying events, making it more difficult for them to recognize when there is a case of cyberbullying.
The cyberbully adopt a domain point of view from the anonymity that is discovered while staying online, which is conceivable to get to understand that their actions will not assume any type of repercussion on them. His incitement for persecution perennially centers around sexual harassment, hatred, love obsession, envy, revenge, or the inability to admit a rejection.
After the reach, spread, and mass use of the web, an attack of cyberbullying easily occurs in all the perimeters in which a young person currently operates, such as in the workplace, academic or Social and loving.
