What's the Difference Between Traditional Bullying and Cyberbullying?
"Technology gives a different avenue to engage in bullying. I mean, people are being bullying on online gaming now. One thing is it allows victims to be victimized when they have never been victimized there. Before technology, they used to go to school, they’d be victimized…but now, they can’t leave school and it stays there"
(Rose, 2011).
"Cyberbullying is a subcategory of bullying. It’s the buzzword right now...20 years ago it wasn’t around. Cyberbullying is just the medium for how it’s done"
"People can be harassed online or on the phone or in person. You can add components and take some away, but it’s still bullying" (Officer Jonathon Westfield).
"Bullying can be manifest as direct acts of physical
violence, or as indirect acts involving relational or social aggression such
as social exclusion, isolation, spreading rumors, or manipulation
Cyberbullying, a newer form of relational bullying using digital technology,
primarily involves name-calling, threats, spreading rumors, sharing
another person’s private information, social isolation, and exclusion. It may
be more subtle and covert, and can be perpetrated faster and in more environments
than traditional forms of bullying" (Mark & Ratliffe, 2011).
