Cyber-Bullying – Don’t start it – Don’t be a part of it
Cyber-bullying involves the use of information and communication technologies to support deliberate, repeated and hostile behaviour by an individual or group that is intended to harm others.
It differs from traditional schoolyard bullying because it often continues outside of school and school hours. It can be 24/7 and sometimes the bully is anonymous.
