What is a Cyber Bully?
A cyber bully is a bully online no different then in a school yard but not limited to activities done by children. Adults on the internet can be a cyber bully too.
What are the signs of a Cyber bully?
I have had several of these activities done including tricking and engaging for sensitive information in regards to my relationship with my husband so they could let others know in an abusive manner. I have had pictures put up to embarrass me as well. I also receive many cruel and vicious messages sent to me on twitter and on my blog. They are cyber bullies.
I have also discovered they move in herds or packs of people. They tend to hover with their own kind. Now I will be placing up links to profiles on twitter that were generated to make fun of myself and another man online. They are fake accounts of me and a man that send cruel and vicious messages with a very large following on these accounts. I strongly urge you to view the follow list of these accounts and to block or remove them from your following. They support cyber bullying and have no issues with this form of abuse online.
