21st Century Bullies

Here you can see a picture with the topic cybermobbing.
We want to interpret it here.

















At the top theres a scripture "21st Century Bullies". Probably the setting is a room of a teenager. In the middle there is an afraid boy, who wears glasses and braces.  The boy is thin and seems to be weak. He is in front of a computer and holds a mobile phone in his right hand. Furthermore theres a violent fist coming out of the mobile phone and a bully seems to be get out of his laptop, so the adolescent tries to defend himself.
However the figures, that come out of the technology are just fictional, but the boy is a real one.
So we think the two fictional men stands for the changing from bullying to cyberbullying because it is a mixing of it to clarify the topic. But the picture has an other side. Cybermobbing is characterized by emotional not by physical pain. Here the physical pain the boy gets stands for the emotional in real life. Furthermore it could also show, that cybermobbing  spawns pain, referring to the hits of the men. But the difference between the real thin boy and the violent fictional men shows cybermobbing still hits the people, who are weaker than other. So it stress the psychical hurt which is often disregarded. The scripture, that is standing in the up, gives a tip for the changing, too.  Today we have the 21st century. And now we have cybermobbing, which is kind of worse because the victims have no place where they can hide. The bullies can reach them into their houses and threat the people there. This situation can you see in the cartoon, too, because the bullies are in the room of the young man and harass him only there.
So you can see the victims are mercilessly exposed to the perpetrators and they often cannot get help because  they are seperate from their surroundings.
