Cyberbullying occurs when one person uses technology at his or her disposal to threaten another person. According to the New York State Department of Criminal Justice Services, it can be defined as “the repeated use of information, technology, including e-mail, instant message, blogs, chat rooms, pagers, cell phones and gaming systems to deliberately harass, threaten or intimidate others.”1 Variations of cyberbullying include offensive and sexually charged messages to the recipient, cyberstalking, sharing intimate information about the victim with others, monitoring the victim’s online activities, and even infecting the victim’s computer with a virus.
