Why don't cyber bullying victims simply block the bullies?

Yes sometimes the bullies will pursue you everywhere but usually its just a matter of blocking the person or deleting your account. I don't understand where the problem is. If they have picture of you there's not much you can do I realize. With so much complaining people should use the simple solutions available.

    Hello

    Sometimes blocking bullies does not help. Because the bullies might have friends, and they can gain up on you. In my opinion, I think you are right. You can delete your account. I think the bullies will eventually stop bullying. Blocking is a decent solution. Creating a new account that the bully does not know about might be a better idea. You can do both if you want.

    Because often the cyber bullies don't directly message the victim. Instead they have conversations between the bully and bully's friend in public places like Facebook etc where anyone can read it.

    So for example Jane is a nice girl. But Katie is not and Katie starts telling everyone on Facebook lies about Jane.
