Reader's Digest 'The rise of cyber bullying

Cyber bullying is very common these days , where many people are able to afford computers and internet access at home and bullies can stay anonymous when they bully someone using the internet. This led to the increase in cyber bullying and the decrease in physical bullying. Cyber bullies are also more daring to do and say whatever they want as their identities are unknown.
I feel that cyber bullying is worst than physical bullying because the damage dealt is much greater psychologically as there are no people watching during physical bullying, whereas the damage is ampified when the person is bullied on the internet where there are millions and millions of viewers. Furthermore, cyber bullying can take place any time, 24 hours a day, 365 days a year unlike physical bullying, which usually takes place outside home.
