Just the Facts: Cyberbullying - Did You Know?

Cyberbullying is bullying that takes place using electronic technology such as, cellphones, computers, and other mobile devices as well as communication tools like, social media, text messages, chat, and websites.

Cyberbullies use communication mediums to share personal information about someone, spread rumors, lies, and/or embarrassing pictures. They might also use another person’s identity to post or send messages.
