|
|
Cyber bullying is a means of harassment that makes use of online tools to accomplish the purpose. The cyber bully may post embarrassing images, information, or gossip about another individual on various social networking sites as well as email, instant messaging, and message boards or forums. As with any type of bullying, the activity is aimed at undermining the confidence of the victim and creating suffering for reasons that are usually not apparent to anyone but the bully. The exact approach to cyber bullying will vary. In some instances, the bully will send a series of intimidating messages to the victim either through email or the use of an instant messaging application. At other times, the bully will join chat rooms that the victim uses regularly and either post negative comments about the victim or directly engage the victim with name-calling or other derisive verbiage. The bully may use a social networking site to pose embarrassing photos of the victim, often doctoring the photos to make them more embarrassing. On message boards and other similar venues, the bully may spread rumors regarding the ethics or morals of the victim in an attempt to damage the individual’s reputation.
