Bullying (Physical and Cyber)

Today I was doing some research on bullying,  I looked at different kinds of bullying.  I looked at a site and learnt that there are Physical, Verbal, Social and Cyberbullying.  All of these are problems in our youth to this day.  But I will be talking to you about Physical and Cyberbullying...

What is Physical bullying?  Normally when you are physically bullying there is an imbalance of power.  For example strength, the bully will be more built or more solid than the victim, therefore, creating an imbalance of power.  This is one of the main aspects of bullying because this is what bullying is mainly known for.  Someone is afraid of doing something might they get harmed.  It can be as constantly being hitting, kicking, shoving, spitting and many more over and over again.  So it isn't a one-off.

What is Cyberbullying?  'Cyberbullying' is basically a fancy word for online bullying.  Although they may have the same traits as 'original' bullying it is a bit different.  Because there could be an imbalance of power regardless of age, strength or popularity.  This is because it is the use of technology.  The use of sending rude messages or pictures are more common.  This also means that could have never met they could have so private data and be able to blackmail or threat the victim.  This is an actual issue and there has been many cases of cyberbullying.

In conclusion, I have learnt that there are a whole bunch of ways that you can be bullied.  All I can say is don't let it get to you and if there is an issue talk about it with an adult.  It is not okay to have this in your own mind so talk about this to a person that you can trust and come up with solutions.
