Cyber bullying is the act of a person, or persons, viciously attacking another using electronic media such as email, texting, photos, social media, or video sharing sites. Nasty, hate-filled messages are directed at the bully’s target with the intent to criticize, humiliate, and defame the individual. If available, videos or photos that describe vulgar or inappropriate behavior even when it does not exist are used to further their cause.
