In 2003, one of Canada’s neighbours stood up to talk about cyberbullying for the first time. Bill Belsey defined it as follows: “Cyberbullying is the use of information and communication technologies to deliberately, repeatedly and aggressively engage in behaviour towards individuals or a group with the intent to cause harm to others [1]. Cyberbullying cannot be compared to harassment in the real world, as discussed in one of my scientific publications [2]. The method, the impacts and the propagations are different than in the real world. In fact, the impact on the victim is also different. She does not feel the same reproaches, criticisms, insults, as in the virtual world and does not experience them in the same way. In fact, the emotional cycle from the moment of receiving the insult to reparation or resignation is different. This is what I have found when working on several cases of cyberbullying victims and their predators. I name this theory: “Phases of Cyberbullying Victim’s Feelings” In fact, the emotional cycle from the moment of receiving the insult to reparation or resignation is different. This is what I have found when working on several cases of cyberbullying victims and their predators. I name this theory: “Phases of Cyberbullying Victim’s Feelings” It is the fifth in my family of theories on Behavioral Differences between the real and the virtual [3]. “Avatarization”, “Transversal Zone”, “Virtual Intelligence” and “Modus Operandi in the virtual” as well as my books on net-profiling [4]. Understanding these emotional phases of the cyberbullying victim allows to better apprehend the said victim and prevent him from committing suicide, but also to prevent the cybercriminal. The victim will also feel better considered.
