Cyber bulling can hurt and change people in many ways if someone post a bad comment about another person and they continue to do the same thing everyday, the victim will begin to believe it. After a while the only thing that, that person is hearing are a bunch of negative about themselves. Which is most likely false information.
How to deal with it
If you ever become involved with a cyber bully one of the best things to do is to just let it go. Don't give them the power to make whatever the said hurt or affect you. If the situation gets out of control and they won't leave you alone then you should talk to a teacher, parent, or adult that you trust to help you. It might be hard to go to an adult but it is the best thing that you can do, and all the would want to do is help.

Think!
Before you send that awful comment about someone you don't really know, ask yourself "What is the point?" "Why should I do this?" The answers are pretty simple. There isn't a point, and you should never do that! Always think before posting something. Even if you later delete it, it's still out there for everyone to see. If you have to think twice about something then it is probably not the best idea to post it.
