Identifying a Cyber-Bully

Cyber-bullies come in many shapes and forms and can be either sex and any age. While teenagers are the most affected group, it is not exclusively a teen problem. Here are six different ways that cyber-bullies may harass others:

1. Nit pickers pull other people's work apart online.
2. Verbal cyber-bullies use words to cut and hurt others on social networks sites and cell phones.
3. Cyber-bullies with long memories drag up the past and publicly attack their victim in chat rooms and on social networking sites.
4. An online bully may stalk a person's movements and gather information such as email addresses, cell numbers and addresses.
5. The bullying may be persistent as the perpetrator tries to break down their victim and force them to behave in the way they want them to.
6. An expert cyber-bully claims to be more qualified than their victim and negates any professional work they put online.
