What is Cyberbullying? Threats or other offensive behavior sent online to a person or sent or posted online about a person for others to see. It can be in the form of a message or email, or IM or a social networking site from someone who is threatening to hurt or beat you up. It might be rumors posted on your profile or spread online for others to see. It might be the deletion of you on a friend’s “buddy list” to make you feel left out. It might be a profile made by someone pretending to be you. Or, someone hacking into your profile and writing comments pretending they’re from you. Generally, cyberbullying is bullying or harassing that happens online. 

Internet Safety tips;
