Cyberbullying can take many forms. It may include repeatedly sending emails to people who have said they do not want contact with the sender. It can also include sending threats, making sexual remarks, using offensive language or labels, or posting humiliating photos or videos, as well as spreading rumors or lies about the victim. Cyberbullies sometimes set up a Web site to make fun of a victim or forward private emails from the victim without permission. Cyberbullies can also get others to join in the behavior. For example, they can urge chatroom members to gang up on someone else by making fun of them or refusing to let them participate in discussions.
