We all know that bullying is when someone is trying to embarrass, frighten or harm someone else on purpose. In cyber bullying (网络欺凌)you often don't know who the bully is. Cyber bullying uses technology.
Mobile phones: text messages, pictures, video clips can be sent to you and all your friends very quickly but you don't know who is sending it.
Internet: emails can be sent from an address which doesn't give the name of the sender. They can be messages, threats, rumors and lies about you.
Websites: exist where you can talk about anything, post pictures and ask for comments. Some cyber bullies use these to embarrass or hurt their victims.
Choose carefully who you give your mobile number, phone number and email address to.
Always remove any addresses which are on an email you receive before sending it on to someone else.
Don't use your real name when going online.
