What is Cyber Bullying?

The National Crime Prevention Council's definition of cyber-bullying is "when the Internet, cell phones or other devices are used to send or post text or images intended to hurt or embarrass another person.”  This is a growing problem on social media websites such as Facebook, You Tube, MySpace, Twitter, or Instagram.  Offenses from student to student, or student to adult committed electronically can have the same consequence as bullying done in person.
