online activities. They may not be able to overhear or see the abuse
taking place. Unless someone comes forward, parents and teachers
may never know that bullying is taking place.
Examples of Cyberbullying
Harassment
Much like offline harassment, online harassment involves sending
abusive or offensive messages to an individual or group. Further, it is
intentional, repeated, and constant. Especially over a period of time,
these messages can have a negative impact on the victim’s self-
esteem or confidence.
Cyberstalking
Cyberstalking is a form of harassment. These messages are often
no longer just offensive or rude, but more threatening in nature.
Messages may escalate to threaten the victim’s physical safety.
Cyberstalking can quickly lead to in-person harassment or stalking.
Exclusion
Exclusion comprises of deliberately excluding the victim. This may
involve leaving them out from social media groups, chat rooms,
messages, events, or activities. It may mean purposefully having
conversations on social media platforms or apps that the victim does
not have access to, or that they see, but are unable to join. The
group may then go on to say cruel or rude things about the excluded
person behind their back.
Outing
Outing is when the bully publicly shares private messages,
pictures, or other information about the victim on the internet. This
is done without the victim’s knowledge or consent, and is meant to
embarrass, shame, or humiliate them. The information may be trivial
or more private and serious, but either way, it is a form of outing.
Masquerading
Masquerading occurs when the bully, or possibly even bullies,
assumes another identity to anonymously harass the victim. They
may either impersonate someone else, use a real person’s account or
phone number, or create an entirely fake identity.
Fraping
Fraping is the act of logging into someone’s social media profile and
posting inappropriate content under their name. While many people
consider this to be a funny joke, fraping can hurt someone’s
reputation, get them in trouble with family, or otherwise embarrass or
harm them.
Cyberbullying Statistics
Cyberbullying is not something that parents or their teenager have
made up. It’s more common than you may think. And for many
teenagers, young adults, and social media users, it poses a very real
threat.
28% of all students from grades six to twelve have experienced some
kind of bullying (School Crime Supplement from the National Center
for Education Statistics and Bureau of Justice Statistics).
30% of students have bullied others in some way or form during their
lifetime (Stopbullying.gov).
A survey from the World Health Organization reports that, compared
to 35 other countries in the Americas and Europe, the U.S.

effort.
Peer Pressure
Some cyberbullies may be trying to impress their peers, become
more popular, or maintain their social status.
Revenge
They may choose to cyberbully someone because they feel wronged
by that person or that their victim deserves it. The bully may feel
that their behavior is justified due to the pain the victim previously
inflicted upon them.
Anonymity
Cyberbullies can embrace the chance to be anonymous by doing all
of their harassment online under an identity other than their own.
They may feel like they won’t get caught and don’t have to face their
victim directly.
Ignorance
Some cyberbullies may simply not realize that what they’re doing
is, in fact, bullying. They may think it’s just a joke and not take the
situation seriously.
Emphasize that the Golden Rule — that you should treat others the
way they want to be treated — still applies when they are online. Teach
them what it means to be a good digital citizen. Most specially, keep the
lines of communication open.
