Relationship problems are the most prevalent reason for the emergence of cyberbullying. Examples of those problems include break-ups, envy, intolerance of others, jealousy, feeling rejected or ignored, and not liking the victim’s inner or outer personality. It may occur as a result of prejudice against sexual orientation, personal disabilities, religions, ethnic background, and gender.

Cyberbullying involves the need of bullies to feel powerful and in control of others.

Some bullies do it because they think is funny or entertaining.

Bullies may not conceptually understand the pain they are inflicting on their victims.

The need to belong to a group, any group, may influence the decision to become a bully.

The anonymity and lack of foreseeable consequences may also contribute to the incidence of cyberbullying.
