Cyber-bullying is defined as intimidation, humiliation or harassment of children and adolescents via the internet, mobile phones or other digital technologies. These incidents are increased during puberty. This happens because the individuals at this age are more vulnerable due to lack of objectivity and the ability to judge. Nevertheless, cyber bullying also often concerns adults with low self esteem, psychological problems, people acting as “outsiders” from the broader social frame who, just like teenagers, use the social platforms like Facebook, Twitter and Instagram, immensely.
