What is "cyberbullying"

n. Persistent acts in cyberspace intended to make life unpleasant for another person. vb. (present participle of cyberbully English)

Cyberbullying is the act of harming or harassing via information technology networks in a repeated and deliberate manner.

With the increased use of communication technology, cyberbullying has become increasingly common, especially among teenagers. Awareness has also risen, due in part to high-profile cases like the suicide of Tyler Clementi.
