2. Is cyber-bullying worse than physical bullying?

3. Introduction
[Education professors] Paris and Robert Strom define cyber bullying as harassment using an electronic medium ( , chat rooms, cell phones, instant messaging, and online voting booths) to threaten or harm others. This author believes that the definition should also include any form of information posted on the Internet, as in blogs, forums, etc. This latter form of cyber bullying involves gossip, humiliation, and threats.

5. Advertisement and Speech
This a commercial depicting cyber-bullying
I feel this shows both advertisement and speech for the issue because it incorporates what victims hear when they are being tortured by their bully. Speech is a very integral part of this issue, without it the issue would not exist. Many bullies do not realize the weight of what they say nor do they think about the consequences of their words.

9. Compare old-age vs new-age bullying
Cyber-bullying
Physical bullying
Victims can be any age
Abuse happens through some virtual portal whether , social media, text messages or blogs
No where to hide
Victims can be any age
May or may not include physical touch or verbal taunting
Victims can escape from their bully some way

10. Conclusion
I believe, based on the evidence I have gathered that cyber-bullying is worse than physical bullying and can be more dangerous. Through research I have found that the negative effects from cyber-bullying outweigh the negative effects from the physical form as it in most cases leads the victim to psychological distress and in some cases leads to suicide.
