In this post I want to introduce Cyberbllying or Cyber Harassment which are frequently used interchangeably. Online harassment or “cyberbullying” has been defined as “an overt, intentional act of aggression towards another person online” (Ybarra and Mitchell 2004a: 1308) or a “willful and repeated harm inflicted through the use of computers, cell phones, and other electronic devices” (Hinduja and Patchin 2009: 5).
Online bullies use a number of technologies, such as instant-messenger (IM), text and multimedia messaging on a cell phone, email, social network sites, and other websites.In fact Cyberbulying is a new way to bother other people by using new technologies ,and based on numbers of researches young people are among people who experienced cyberbulying.
