The major differences between cyberbullying and traditional bullying are that the bullies’ identities are hidden, adults usually don’t notice the bullying occurring, and the victims are easy to reach online. Because of these differences, there are more hurtful exchanges and comments from cyberbullying than those from traditional bullying (Burnett, Yozwiak, Omar, p, 466). Due to being able to access the internet and social media everywhere, victims of cyberbullying are not able to find a sense of safety even when they are home. And it is believed that victims of cyberbullying suffer more than those of traditional bullying because they can’t find a way to escape (Burnett, Yozwiak, Omar,
Feindler and her collegues (1986) intervention, the program focuses on teaching the adolescents to control their impulses and emotions, and to express their anger in a social appropriate manner.

When working with an individual pottential bully the adolescents behaviour needs to be identified (for example whether the student is aggressive, emotionaly abusive etc.) then the correct intervention plan can be set up for the indivdiual (Elinoff, Chafouleas, & Sassu, 2004).

Bullying is using superior strength or influence to intimidate (someone), typically to force him or her to do what one wants.

There is social bullying which is using relationships to hurt someone and there is cyberbullying which happens over a cellphone or the internet. A lot of teens have described bullying as “ when someone tries to make you feel less about who you are as a person, and you aren’t able to make it stop “ .
Bullying is a constant problem nowadays, especially with technology and social media. But playing around and bullying are two completely different things. Teasing is when the person who is getting teased know it is just a joke and is ok with it. Bullying is when the person does not like whatever someone else is doing to them.

Bullying can be classified in four ways such as verbal, physical, social and psychological. Verbal bullying is saying or writing mean things that includes teasing, name-calling or taunting. Physical bullying can be happen by hitting, punching, or kicking someone. Psychological bullying
In society today we believe that bullying is not ok but on the other hand it is ok depending on the situation; this way of thinking by society is wrong. Bullying affects victims mentally, physically and emotionally, some worse than others.

The way my research project on whether individuals feel and experience depressive symptoms more when they experience both traditional bullying and text-bullying compared to an individual who ins’t or hasn’t ever been bullied before is related to psychology is first by the study of behavior. When I think of psychology I think it has to do a lot with understanding someones thought process, their emotions toward object as well as their behavior and how they act towards someone or something. With this research study of behavior it can be related with the types of bullying that is involved in this research. In the research I stated two types of bullying traditional bullying that consist of verbal bullying which is name calling and spreading rumors, and physical bullying. For instance punching, pushing, or kicking the victim.

Bullying is a widespread problem in our schools and communities and has a negative impact on students’ right to learn in a safe and secure environment without fear. It is a process in which one person repeatedly uses his/her superior strength or influence to mistreat, attack or force another person to do something (Van der Werf, 2014). Bullying or peer victimization is now recognized as a complex and pervasive problem (Beran, 2009). It is an ongoing problem that is not restricted by age, race, gender or class. This behavior generally takes one of four forms, physical such as assault, verbal which involves threats or insults, social which entails exclusion or rumor spreading, and cyber which includes aggressive texts or social network posts
Traditional type of bullying does not involve the use of technological means. Harassment of a victim by an aggressor whose intent is to inflict harm is a concrete example to this, it could be in the means of physical, verbal and social (Gale, 2013; Wang, 2011). Physical bullying manifested in a direct manner that causes body pain on their victim; this involves striking, punching, kicking, pushing, or other types of physical aggression. Physical bullying is a form of cruelty done to others who are weaker. This may involve intentional aggression towards others causing bodily harm, pain or even grave injury.
