A new study conducted by the American Psychological Association has found that cyber bullying is more traumatic to the victims rather than traditional bullying

Cyber bullying victims have difficulties in sleeping and display other symptoms such as stress, anxiety and nightmares. Lead researcher Elizabeth Carll said that unlike traditional bullying, the victims cannot escape to a safe place.
“It is my observation that the symptoms related to cyber-stalking and e-harassment may be more intense than in-person harassment, because the impact is more devastating due to the 24/7 nature of online communication, inability to escape to a safe place, and global access of the information”, Dr Carll said.
