By definition, cyberbullying is bullying that happens online. This means that instead of happening in person, the bully is attacking through electronics. Electronics can be phones, tablets, computers, anything. However, most bullies attack through the more popular social medias such as Instagram, Twitter, Facebook, or even using websites, text messages, and other forms of communication.

Cyber-bullying can happen in a variety of ways, while still using the same three types of bullying: verbal, physical, and relational. Verbal and relational are used mostly by cyber-bullies in modern-day because it is easy to stay anonymous online. Cyber-bullying can happen through rude messages, rumors spread through email or social media, embarrassing pictures, websites, and fake accounts.

Cyber-bullying is a horrible form of harassment because it never goes away. Once something is online, it is extremely hard to delete or retrieve. Also, because it is online and on social media, it can follow the person to their own home, making them feel unsafe. This form of bullying may occur 24 hours a day for 7 days a week, and everyone can see it once it has been shared. These cyber-attackers can stay anonymous while targeting a person, using fake accounts, and never be identified. But many cyber-bullies have no idea about the damage they bring to that person. Many people believe there is no real harm because it is on a screen, but as innovation grows, so do the attackers and the bystanders. Cyber-bullying becomes more and more of a problem as social media expands and needs to be further recognized.
