One of my students just did a paper on the suicides that have been considered results of cyber bulling. These so called "facebook suicides" are a sad, serious, epidemic.
Cyberbullying is a 24-7 thing. There is never a safe moment for a victim of cyber bullying. No where to hide. Some examples of cyberbullying include sending hurtful, rude, or mean text messages to others, spreading rumors or lies about others by e-mail or on social networks, creating websites, videos or social media profiles that embarrass, humiliate, or make fun of others.
The bullied can react by skipping school, use alcohol and drugs, get poor grades, and have more health problems.
Stop bullying. Report users to facebook. Talk to teachers, administration. Get help.
