I considered sexting as a mental illness since the abusers is not in their right mind distributing sensitive images and being a naïve, immature bully. On the other hand the victim will suffer from mental anguish of embarrassment, depression, shame, and possibly guilt letting the other person take the pictures.

Imagine an unpopular student, getting bullied and picked on at school. Going home after a long day feels like a blessing for that child. However, upon turning on their phone, they realize it has been bombarded with cruel messages and images. The constant messages are having a harmful effect on the student’s well-being, and they are trapped in a never-ending loop of bullying.

This may take in several ways or forms like physical, verbal, relational, or cyber bullying (which is now the new form of bullying created through the advent of new technologies and becomes prevalent nowadays) (Wang et al., 2011). According to Olweus (1993), the person is being bullied when he or she, who cannot easily defend himself/herself, is subject to negative actions or harassment on the part of individual or a group of people repeatedly and over time.

In addition, this action is a justification for the time when cyberbullying-victims have been tormented and harassed. By cyberbullying others, they may feel better for themselves but that is just a temporary sense of relief.
