What types of cyberbullying are there?

Answer 1

Cyberbullies do things differently depending upon the type of type they are. There are four basic types of cyberbullies. They all are:

The Vengeful Angel

The Power-hungry Or Revenge of the Nerds

The "Mean Girls"

The Inadvertent Cyberbully or "Because I Can"

If you mean in terms of actions, here are some possibilities:

1. Defamation - Making up lies about a person and posting them online.

2. Embarrassment - Posting embarrassing things the person actually did or twisting things they said or did into something else and somehow framing them.

3. Hacking and snooping - Gaining unauthorized access to the victim's PC or phone to get information to use against them or to expose.

4. Outing - The bully discloses personal information about the target. Includes information about sexual orientation, drug habits, sexual practices, and other private details.

5. Impersonation - The bully impersonates the victim while acting in a disgusting or illegal manner. The worst form of this is impersonation with the goal of causing the target to become an assault victim.

6. Fake friends - The bully or their accomplices pretend to be friends of the target. They may give bad advice to cause the target to behave in an embarrassing manner, or they may groom the victim into trusting them and then "turn" on them.

7. Insults and name-calling - The bully just calls the target names.

8. Fake photos and videos - The bully creates modified photos or fake videos and posts them online. They might take photos of people doing sexual or illegal things and manipulate the images to include the target's face.
