CyberBulling

Brittany Yanders
Cyberbullying is the use of the Internet, cell phones, or other electronic communication devices to spread harmful or embarrassing information about another person. The term cyberbullying refers to the behavior when it is targeted at minor.
It can also include sending threats, making sexual remarks, using offensive language or labels, or posting humiliating photos or videos, as well as spreading rumors or lies about the victim.
Cyberbullies sometimes set up a website to make fun of a victim or forward private e-mails from the victim without permission. Cyberbullies can also get others to join in the behavior; they can urge chat room members, for example, to gang up on someone else by making fun of them or refusing to let them participate in discussions.
