Effects of cyberbullying for victims are the same as of real life bullying. It is the number cause of depression, it can lead to suicide or murder. Most people commit suicide if it gets out of hand, and become more than what they can handle. When you bully someone online, it is like someone slapping in the face without giving you the chance to strike back. Cyberbullying is a very serious issue and it should not be ignored. Anybody can be victim but children and teenagers are the most vulnerable.
Victims of cyberbullying are bullied from the moment they wake up and check their phone or laptop to the time they go to bed and shut off their devices. Things were bad enough when bullying was confined to the playground, but now it can follow you home in your pocket. Cyberbullying is different from traditional bullying due to the anonymity that the Internet can provide. People can post what they like, be who they want and all behind a screen.
