• Traditionally bullying involves two people, a bully and a
victim. The bully abuses the victim through physical, verbal,
or other means in order to gain a sense of superiority and
power (Smith, 2016).
• Cyberbullying is an adaptation of traditional bullying, and can
be defined as electronic bullying, as it has emerged with the
advancement of technology (Menesini, Nocentini, &
Camodeca, 2013).
• It can be defined as harassing and threatening by phone calls,
text messages, emails, defaming websites, and compromising
photos or videos circulating on the internet (Menesini, et al.,
2013).

• Cyberbullying is a serious matter, and prevention is
necessary to ensure that young people are protected
from the harmful effects of the behavior. There are
state and federal laws that are dedicated to this effort.
However, at a local level, prevention techniques can
be implemented in schools and at home. It is essential
to review the current prevention methods that exist in
order to understand what works best, and what can be
done to advance them in the future.

cyberbullying are much too powerful to ignore,
because they threaten the mental health of those who
