Cyber bullying is the use of electronic communication to bully a person, typically by sending messages of an intimidating or threatening nature.
Kids who are cyber bullied, tend to never get away from the hurtful words.
- Cyber bullying can happen 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, and reach a kid even when he or she is alone. It can happen any time of the day or night.
- Cyber bullying messages and images can be posted anonymously and distributed quickly to a very wide audience. It can be difficult and sometimes impossible to trace the source.
- Deleting inappropriate or harassing messages, texts, and pictures is extremely difficult after they have been posted or sent.
