The anonymity, 24/7 invasion of privacy, and the vast audience that the perpetrator takes advantage of have taken bullying to a new level. With greater access to advanced technology and youths’ obsession with it, cyberbullying is on the rise, and its effects on youth are being seen at school and at home in devastating ways. Fortunately, there are many strategies that all those concerned can take to combat the rise of cyberbullying and its impact on adolescents.  \nOver the past decade, the world has witnessed advances in technology that have brought wonderful opportunities. However, with these opportunities come risks that can be devastating. Recently, Canadians have been shocked by the tragic, high-profile stories of Amanda Todd and Rehteah Parsons, who ultimately committed suicide as a result of cyber attacks (MacDonald, 2014) . Although suicide is not the final outcome for all victims, cyberbullying brings a whole new set of characteristics that are powerful and widespread, and the predictions are that with improved technology and greater access (Holladay, 2012), the impact of cyberbullying on adolescents will only become worse (Baek & Bullock, 2014) . The trend of cyberbullying is on the rise; therefore, it is crucial that youth, parents, schools, and the community at large are equipped with strategies to deal with this crisis before more innocent youths fall victim to cyberbullying.  \nThe Characteristics of Cyberbullying  \nCyberbullying is distinctly different from traditional bullying in several ways. First, the internet allows anonymity, which could serve to embolden the cyberbully. Second, the unlimited access that perpetrators have to the internet enables a 24/7 invasion of the victim’s privacy (Gordon, 2014; Swearer, 2012) . Finally, cyberbullying has a potentially infinite audience, which could give it an immeasurable reach (Uhls, 2014) . These characteristics are not only distinct from traditional bullying, but they also make cyberbullying a formidable force that can be better understood by the examination of its key features.  \nAnonymity of the Perpetrator  \nThe anonymity of cyberbullying allows the perpetrators to disconnect and de-individualize , thereby voiding any empathy and criticism that could make them question their conscience. Asa result, cyber attacks can be very vicious (Alexander, 2012) . For example, anonymous cyberbullies often post harsh insults (Hoffman, 2012), disclose personal information, post inappropriate images and video clips (Papatraianon, Levine, & West, 2014), and stalk, lure (Hinduji, & Patchin, 2010) and harass their victims (Gillespie, 2006) . The possibility of anonymity may also encourage people who would not normally engage in bullying to do so online because they become invisible (Cassidy, Faucher, & Jackson, 2013), “allowing their actions to be separated from the consequences”(Uhls, 2014, p. 30) . Indeed, new apps such as Burn Book and Yik Yak are being created for the sole purpose of anonymous cyberbullying (Elliott, 2015) . Cassidy and her colleagues (2013) stated that because the internet is such a global resource, authorities can not supervise its usage, which enables perpetrators to go undetected and to pursue their victims for an extended period of time, making the attacks more harmful. All of  \nthese characteristics combined not only make cyberbullying a very powerful force, but they also let the perpetrator take advantage of the internet which is fertile ground for an unprecedented rate of invasion of privacy and harmful attacks.  \nInvasion of Privacy  \nToday, bullying goes beyond the school yard and into victims’ homes where they once felt safe (O’Brien & Moules, 2012; Papatraianon et al. , 2014) . While traditional bullying often starts at school, the","cbCaikVbjyb2b5Q0","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaikVbjyb2b5Q0","pdf",313468,"English","# Abstract\n# The Characteristics of Cyberbullying\n## Anonymity of the Perpetrator\n## Invasion of Privacy\n## Vast Audience\n# The Effects of Cyberbullying","[{\"question\":\"What makes cyberbullying different from traditional bullying?\",\"answer\":\"Cyberbullying enables perpetrator anonymity, constant (24/7) invasion of privacy through unlimited internet access, and a potentially infinite audience that dramatically increases reach and impact.\"},{\"question\":\"How does anonymity affect the behavior of cyberbullies?\",\"answer\":\"Anonymity can disconnect perpetrators from empathy and consequences, allowing harsher insults, disclosure of personal information, posting inappropriate media, and online stalking or harassment.\"},{\"question\":\"Why is cyberbullying especially harmful to adolescents’ mental health?\",\"answer\":\"Ubiquitous online attacks can create inescapable fear and stress, increase feelings of threat and vulnerability, and make victims afraid to ask for help.\"}]","Exploring and Mitigating the Impact of Cyberbullying on Adolescents’ Mental Health | PDF",1792082238,15]
