What is cyberbullying?
You know what bullying is — you see kids pick on other kids in the lunchroom or you hear one friend say something nasty about another friend behind her back in class. Cyberbullying is no different. You might receive mean or insulting text or instant messages from someone you thought was your friend. Or a classmate might pretend to be you and post false information or unflattering photos on a website.This is cyberbullying. Cyberbullying is defined as any cyber-communication posted or sent by a minor that is intended to frighten, embarrass, harass, or otherwise target another minor. If there aren’t minors on both sides of the communication, it is considered cyberharassment, but the two terms mean pretty much the same thing.
