Young people can become anonymous online The difference between writing nasty messages on the back of a school book and posting it on the internet is that the messagescan potentially be seen by a very wide audience almost instantly. The message can remain available on the internet even if it islater removed from the site Young people posting messages on the internet tend not to feel as responsible for their online actions as they do in real life This type of behaviour is often outside of the reach of schools as it often happens outside of school on home computers or viamobile phones Young people are often fearful of telling others about being bullied because they fear that the bullying may actually become worseif they tell. They are often also afraid to report incidents, as they fear that adults will take away their mobile phone, computer and/orinternet access In most cases, cyberbullies know their targets, but their victims dont always know the person bullying them. This can prove veryisolating for the victim in group, club or school settings Because communications technologies have become so popular cyberbullying can happen any time and any place and, for manychildren, home is no longer a safe haven from bullying 11.
