CYBER BULLYING
Cyberbullying is bullying that takes place over digital devices like cell phones, computers, and tablets.
Cyberbullying can occur through SMS, Text, and apps, or online in social media, forums, or gaming where people
can view, participate in, or share content. Cyberbullying includes sending, posting, or sharing negative, harmful,
false, or mean content about someone else. It can include sharing personal or private information about someone
else causing embarrassment or humiliation. Some cyberbullying crosses the line into unlawful or criminal
behavior.
With the prevalence of social media and digital forums, comments, photos, posts, and content shared by
individuals can often be viewed by strangers as well as acquaintances. The content an individual share online
both their personal content as well as any negative, mean, or hurtful content creates a kind of permanent public
record of their views, activities, and behavior. This public record can be thought of as an online reputation, which
may be accessible to schools, employers, colleges, clubs, and others who may be researching an individual now
or in the future. Cyberbullying can harm the online reputations of everyone involved not just the person being
bullied, but those doing the bullying or participating in it.
All states have laws requiring schools to respond to bullying. As cyberbullying has become more prevalent with
the use of technology, many states now include cyberbullying, or mention cyberbullying offenses, under these
laws. Schools may take action either as required by law, or with local or school policies that allow them to
discipline or take other action. Some states also have provisions to address bullying if it affects school
performance. You can learn about the laws and policies in each state, including if they cover cyberbullying.
