  35. Differences Between Cyberbullying and Conventional Bullying Cyberbullying can be much less noticeable than "schoolyard" bullying, but at the same time it leaves evidence

  36. Differences -The virtual disconnect makes it easier for motives and results to be different -Someone could think they are acting normal while their counterpart feels victimized http://www.teachtoday.eu/en/Teacher-advice/Cyberbullying/How-is-cyberbullying-different-to-other-forms-of-bullying.aspx

  37. Differences -cyberbullying seems less important because it is “just talking” and seemingly unrelated to physical harm -it actually has more dangerous effects such as suicide http://www.teachtoday.eu/en/Teacher-advice/Cyberbullying/How-is-cyberbullying-different-to-other-forms-of-bullying.aspx

  38. Differences -cyberbullying is often retaliatory and the revenge is taken too far since it is unobserved -cyberbullying makes revenge more immediate http://www.teachtoday.eu/en/Teacher-advice/Cyberbullying/How-is-cyberbullying-different-to-other-forms-of-bullying.aspx

  39. Differences -the people getting bullied and committing the bullying can be anyone -children can be more embarrassed to talk about it http://www.teachtoday.eu/en/Teacher-advice/Cyberbullying/How-is-cyberbullying-different-to-other-forms-of-bullying.aspx

  40. Differences -cyberbullying can take place 24/7 -it invades personal space (hard to escape) -more likely for incidents to be unintentional http://www.teachtoday.eu/en/Teacher-advice/Cyberbullying/How-is-cyberbullying-different-to-other-forms-of-bullying.aspx

  41. Differences -often happens accidentally through trash talk (in emails, and online, trash talk is perceived as more serious than in person) http://www.teachtoday.eu/en/Teacher-advice/Cyberbullying/How-is-cyberbullying-different-to-other-forms-of-bullying.aspx

  42. Differences -Many people do not filter what they say online, and it can be taken too seriously -They might not mean to be negative, but their word choice can skew their message http://www.stopcyberbullying.org/educators/howdoyouhandleacyberbully.html
