This topic is made to bring awareness and interest to the reader. It is in no way aimed at any particular person or group. Please keep any personal experiences as anonymous as possible by not saying who, where, etc.
I'd never want someone to be hurt because of something like this. I'm willing to be there for you if need someone to support you~ I've been there too x_x
simply put: Cyberbullying can be anything mean, hateful, or somehow hurtful to another person spoken to electronically.
(ex: forums, text messages, chat IM, email, etc.) The most serious cases happen anonymously, but it can happen to people whether or not they are aware of it.
Some instances of cyberbullying: rudely or angrily trying to prove a point, quoting to challenge what someone has said, wrongly abusing or exercising power, making threats, sarcastic remarks that can be taken seriously.

Cyberbullying a person can cause another person to:
cyberbully others
give up on life (quit school, thoughts of suicide, not doing what they enjoy, etc.)
become negative to friends or family
do poorly at school or work
lose sleep
complain alot
become involved in harmful or badly influential activities.
some questions:
1. Who is effected the most? why do you think so?
2. What might be some cases where you might have cyberbullied?
3. What can you do to help someone being cyberbullied? What if that action if also cyberbullying?
4. What do you think is the motivation for someone to cyberbully another person?
5. In your own words, define cyberbullying. How is that different from in-person? What would happen differently in-person?
6. Create an example of cyberbullying, and offer some thoughts of what could/should have been done.
7. What kind of phrases, text, font, or other symbolic language can be interpreted by another person as hurtful?
Let me know if you want a specific case study and I'll try to find some~
