Cyberbullying
The term "cyberbullying" refers to when adolescents, who are more prone to this than adults, bully each other through electronic technology. The term itself didn't become a household name until around the early 2000s, due to the increase in the amount of people who became able to own technology.
Broken up into three concepts: intentional, harmful and repetitive, cyberbullying garners a distinction from face-to-face bullying. It has been known that cyberbullying is not an action completed by accident, rather it is spured by deliberate behaviors to cause the victim to feel humiliation or embarasment. Stemming from this is the idea that the victim is harmed in one way or another, whether it be physically or emotionally. Bullying of any kind proves to be repetitive as long as the victim's attempts to stand up for themselves are not useful.
