INTRODUCTIONCyberbullying is a form of harassment that is done with the help of electronic items suchas mobile phones, computers, internet etc. It is also known as online bullying (Whittaker&Kowalski, 2015). As I am in favour of the topic that cyberbullying is the criminal offence for allthe people. Its mostly common among the teenagers as they are more addicted to mobile phonesthat will lead to bullying of another person. Victims who are suffering from cyberbullying arehaving low self-esteem and negative responses towards others. Internet trolling is one type ofbullying that is being practised among the people for the purpose of harassment of others.MAIN BODYShould cyberbullying be a criminal offenceCyberbullying is the process that occurs from the use of electronic things like internet,email, mobile phones etc. As it arises when one person harasses another person through the wayof social networking such as using Twitter, Facebook etc. It can be repeated behaviour of anindividual for the sake of harming another people.

As these consequences are depending on the specificcondition. Both individuals and organisations may be susceptible to cyberbullying. In manycyberbullying cases individuals may get harassed or prosecuted. These cases were gone to thecriminal court, while in other cases people must pay fine for it or may get imprisonment formany years. As larger laws are having their own rules for reducing cyberbullying. Criminalforms of cyberbullying are threats from making violent, threat of death, extortion, taking photoof other people who are standing at public places etc. If cyberbullying case is gone to the courteither the victim is got fired or expelled or may be arrested.
