Compared to traditional bullying in real life, cyberbullying does it on the internet sometimes causing violent damage.
• Anonymity of the abuser: in reality, this anonymity is illusory, every electronic communication still leaves traces. For the victim, however, it is difficult to go back alone to his molester; moreover, in the face of the anonymity of the cyberbully, unpleasant things about the victim's account (often described in a manifest way, others in an apparently unrelated way to his identity) can be forwarded to a large number of people.
• Difficult availability: if cyberbullying takes place via SMS, instant messaging or email, or in a private online forum, for example, it is more difficult to find and remedy it.
• Weakening of ethics: the two previous characteristics, combined with the possibility of being "another person" online (like a role-playing game), can weaken ethical biases: people often do and say things online that do not would do or would say in real life.
• Absence of space-time limits: while traditional bullying usually takes place in specific places and moments (for example in a scholastic context), cyberbullying invests the victim every time he connects to the electronic medium used by the cyberbully (WhatsApp, Facebook, Twitter, blogs , etc.)

Cyberbullying (ie "online bullying") is the term that indicates a type of continuous, repeated, offensive and systematic attack implemented through the tools of the network.

The term cyberbullying was coined by the Canadian professor Bill Belsey [1]. The English-speaking lawyers usually distinguish between cyberbullying (cyberbullying), which occurs between minors, and cyberharassment ("cybermolestia") that occurs between adults or between an adult and a minor [2]. However, in current cyber-bullying use is used interchangeably for both cases. Like bullying in real life, cyberbullying can sometimes constitute a violation of the Civil Code and of the Penal Code and, as regards the Italian legal system, of the Code of Privacy

Homophobic bullying consists of verbal abuse (insult) and physical abuse against a person as perceived by the attacker as lesbian, gay, bisexual or transgender; therefore, it also includes aggressions aimed at innocent people who are not homosexuals, but are simply effeminate males or masculine females.

Bullying can be made up of a specific and circumstantiated incident or repeated acts and continued over time; verbal aggression can use various sexual insults, intimidation or threats of actual physical violence, including finally one or more clichés, LGBT stereotypes, anti-LGBT rhetoric slogans.

Homophobic bullying involves intentional and unprovoked actions towards the victim, repeated negative actions by one or more people against another and an imbalance of physical or psychological power . On such occasions the term "Queer bullying" can also be used.
