Bullies are usually aggressive and they channel this aggression towards the victim to show their power and control over their victims. Cyber bullying is usually done by people who were once victims of (physical/cyber) bullying, the person will then react by bullying (cyber/physical) others(fellow pupils). Others get involve in bullying due to peer pressure from friends or other bullies. The distance that technology gives is what effects the victim in some case, the fact that you don’t know who you’re being bully by so you don’t know when it is ever going to stop and it encourages the bully to carry on which leads them to say and do harsher things as they will never get caught as they feel comfortable. Sometimes the offender (bully) is unaware of the harm he or she causes his or her victim. Others blindly intensify the harm inflicted on the victim by uploading and sharing a photo, retweeting, or liking a negative status posted by someone else(the bully in most instances).the bully been Anonymous also reduces the opportunity for direct feedback(how the victim is feeling) and significantly reduces the chance of witnesses or the chance of any interventions from fellow pupils or teachers
