Is Cyber Bullying more harmful than
Traditional Bullying???
Face-to-face bullying is more cruel and harsh than online attacks
"You see their smile, hear their laugh, see their face, see you break down“
A 15 year old boy
“Generally the worst aspect of traditional bullying is that most of the people suicide rather
than facing one more day of bullying. They hang themselves or jump out from a building. Loss
of life is a very big thing. Often you can pause yourself from cyber bullying by cutting
yourself from technology but how will you respond to Physical bullying? There are laws and
legal penalties for bullying but they are too feeble to stop bullying. In Pakistan it is not as
much as it is done in other countries for example India has a high rate of people suiciding
because of fear of ragging. In US every 1/8 child is bullied. Often lack of support from parents
is also root of students suiciding.”
