There is a new form of harassment that people have to deal with now that technology has become a part of our everyday lives. You see it every time you read a new posting on the Internet about some terrible thing about a movie star, the President, an athlete, or the girl or boy that goes to school with you. But it doesn’t stop there.

So what exactly is cyberbullying?

“Cyberbullying" is when a child, preteen or teen is tormented, threatened, harassed, humiliated, embarrassed or otherwise targeted by another child, preteen or teen using the Internet, interactive and digital technologies or mobile phones.

• It has to have a minor on both sides, or at least have been instigated by a minor against another minor.
• Once adults become involved, it is plain and simple cyber-harassment or cyberstalking.
