What is cyberbullying? Cyberbullying is a new type of bullying in which, the Internet, mobile phones, and other devices are used to harass, embarrass, and threaten another person. Cyberbullying is becoming more and more common and has a negative and often dramatic effect on children and teenagers. Cyberbullying is not face to face. It involves no physical violence and it is difficult to detect. Victims may never find the identity of the person responsible for the cyberbullying. In cyberbullying, children who are victims often switch roles and become bullies because they can pretend to be something they’re not. Although cyberbullying does not physically hurt people. Extreme outcomes sometimes kill.
