Cyber-bullying is the use of the Internet to bully or harass one or more persons. There are two main forms of cyber-bullying:

• Threats or insults directly sent by email or chat
• Damaging rumours

The anonymous nature of the Web may sometimes lead us to act in ways that we wouldn’t in real life. We may think that nothing can touch us. The fact that we don’t directly witness the consequences of our actions on the people we bully also reduces our feelings of involvement with the victims of bullying.
