Cyberbullying can be defined as intentional aggression through electronic routes, such as text messages, e-mails, chat rooms, online games, and social websites. In comparison with traditional bullying, cyberbullying has many unique characteristics that boost its harmful effects, including the inability to avoid bullying, presence of larger and more potential audience, the continuity of bullying regardless of time or place, and the anonymity of perpetrator in many occasions .

In Egypt almost half of Beni-sueif university students (48.2%) reported experiencing cyberbullying victimization. Female students, students living in urban areas and those who spent more hours using the internet reported more exposure (p<0.001). Harassment was the main type stated by females (79.8%) while flaming was excessively reported by males (51.8%). Students responded mostly by anger (63.1%), hatred (23.2%) and sorrow (22.6%) towards the worst victimization incidents.
