Question 1

What is meant by cyberbullying and how do cyberbullies "attack" their victims?

Accepted Answer

Cyberbullying is defined as willful and repeated harm inflicted through the medium of electronic text. Like their real-world counterparts, cyberbullies are malicious aggressors who seek implicit or explicit pleasure or profit through the mistreatment of other individuals. Although power in traditional bullying might be physical (stature) or social (competency or popularity) in nature, online power may simply stem from Internet proficiency. Cyberbullies are able to navigate the Web and utilize technology in a way that puts them in a position of power relative to their victim. Bullies employ two major portals to harass their victims: (1) a cyberbully can use a computer and send harassing e-mails or instant messages, post obscene, insulting, and slanderous messages to online bulletin boards or social networking sites, or develop websites to promote and disseminate defamatory content;  (2) a cyberbully can use a cellphone to send harassing text messages to the victim.
