There are several factors which make the prevention of cyberbullying is hard to be done.

EXPLANATION:  

Cyberbullying is a kind of bullying which occurs online and digitally. It can happen to anyone or everyone. Cyberbullying happens in children’s mobile phones, internet, computers, video games, and tablets. The cyberbullies will post, send, or share harmful, negative, embarrassing, mean, or content about someone else in social media (F a c e b o o k, I n s t a g r a m, T w i t t e r, S n a p c h a t), text or SMS, instant message, video games messages, and email.  

Cyberbullying really does happen. The Pew Internet & American Life Project did a research about cyberbullying, and here is the fact about cyberbullying based on that research:

• 95% of US teenagers age 12-17 use smartphone s

• 81% of them use social media and go online

• 45% of them state that they go online constantly

•  

Based on that number, the facts about cyberbullying are:

• 59% of the USA teenagers report that they have been assaulted or bullied online

• 1 out of 4 teens become the victims of cyberbullying

• 1 out of 6 teens admit that they cyberbullied others

• Girls are the common victim of cyberbullying rather than boys.  

In short, cyberbullying really happens among children and teenagers. Both parents and the school have to take action about this, Yet, some parents or schools don’t believe that cyberbullying can occur and harm the students’ life. Parents don’t monitor well their kids and schools don’t have rules about the restriction on media use.
