Emotional effects
Humiliation
Because cyberbullying occurs in cyberspace, online bullying feels permanent.
Isolation
Cyberbullying sometimes causes kids to be excluded and ostracized at school. Consequently, they often feel alone and isolated.
Anger
Many victims of cyberbullying will get angry about what is happening to them. In fact, research indicates that anger is the most common response to cyberbullying
Powerlessness
Victims of cyberbullying often find it difficult to feel safe. They may feel vulnerable and powerless
Emotional effects
Depression and Anxiety
Victims of cyberbullying may succumb to anxiety, depression, and other stress-related conditions. The added stress of coping with cyberbullying on a regular basis can steal their feelings of happiness and contentment..
Academic Issues
Kids being victimized by cyberbullying may lose interest in school. As a result, they often have much higher rates of absenteeism than non-bullied kids.
Low Self-Esteem
Cyberbullying often zeros in on what already makes victims feel most vulnerable. For example, maybe a child who feels insecure about a birthmark ends up being bullied about just that.
Suicidal Thoughts and Self-Harm
Sometimes targets of cyberbullying respond to their intense feelings by harming themselves in some way. For instance, some might engage in self-harm such as cutting or burning themselves.
