Cyber Bullying is a form of intimidation that is expressed virtually via texting, emailing or using any other form of technological device with the deliberate intent to hurt or embarass someone.
I have always been bullied since I can remember by the people closest to me and it was never a pleaseant feeling. Being torn apart, always wanting to hide and be away from everyone. Or simpy putting myself in an uncomfortable situation to be "accepted" by the masses....but that backfired.

Here is an example of a form of bullying I am personally faced with today. I no longer speak to this person and I have repeatedly asked the culprit to leave me alone. However, the culprit still manages to cyberstalk me via facebook by sending me an email expressing how she does not like my picture. Furthermore, the culprit is not even displayed in this picture. This is so sad, I'm embarrased to be going through this. To protect the culprits identity I will blur out her name. " Here is your 2 minutes of anonymous fame"
I'll let the email and picture speak for itself. No further explanation is required here.
Well maybe Just a little...
Okay....... Jill Scott explains it just a tad bit better than I do.
Attempts of soft intimidation just touched the surface of my skin but no lesions have been made. Hate is a reflection of that individual. However, my situation is not as bad in comparison to others afflicted with cyber bullying.
Think of the countless and senseless acts that are so apparent in this society. Take for example the case of Phoebe Prince, 15 of North Hamptom, MA.
Her classmates cyber bullied Phoebe to death. Everyone stood by and watched. Being an observer makes you 10 X worse than the bully. Be an active bystander and do something positive!
