Cyber+Bullying+-+Causes

There are many individual causes of motivation for minors to partake in cyber-bullying. The perpetrators are often stimulated by anger, revenge or frustration. Sometimes they do it for entertainment or because they are bored and have too much time on their hands and too much technology available to them. Many also do it just for laughs or to get a reaction. Some even do it by accident, and either send a message to the wrong person or didn't think before they did something.
