What form of cyber bullying is most frequently used and which gender is more likely to be bullied between urban and rural areas? In our hypothesis we predicted that facebook or any other social websites will be the form most frequently used, girls will more likely to be targeted and cyber bullying will be more common in urban areas. Our hypothesis was partially incorrect. The most common form of cyber bullying was text messaging, not Facebook or other social websites. Our hypothesis was correct in the way that we predicted that females would be more targeted than males and cyber bullying is more common in urban areas.

 One area we would like to change would be to include questions on the survey about the emotional damage to the victim due to cyber bullying. Plus we’d like to know the students definition on what cyber bullying is to them. We would have also liked to be more selective with the volunteers we choose so that each volunteer has, or has access to all four forms of communication that can lead to cyber bullying.

          Based on these results people should stop and realize the seriousness of cyber bullying and how it causes harm and hurt others. Cyber bullying is considered a criminal act. Anyone who cyber bullies should understand how severe this really is and should stop for good!
