Cyberbullying is bullying that takes place using technology. Technology includes devices and equipment such as cell phones, computers, and tablets and communication tools like social media, messages, and chats.

Some may think that cyberbullying doesn’t really count as bullying behavior, but that’s not true.

Reports of physical bullying declined from 22% in 2003 to 15% in 2008, but online harassment increased from 6% in 2000 to 11% in 2010.
