There are so many ways that cyberbullying is carried out, and it can change or adapt as quickly as new technologies and sites emerge. Here are some of the more common ways that cyberbullying happens among Canadian teens: • Mean or threatening messages are sent by email, text or through comments on a social network. • Embarrassing rumours, secrets or gossip about someone are spread through social networking sites, texts or email. • Embarrassing or intimate pictures or video of someone is posted online or shared without them knowing about it or agreeing to it. • Stories, pictures, jokes or cartoons intended to embarrass or humiliate someone are posted online. • Someone's email account is hacked and the person pretends to be them while sending out hurtful messages to others. Or, an individual learns someone's password and uses it to access their social networking account and post embarrassing and hateful messages while pretending to be them. • Someone is tricked online into sharing personal information, only to have that information shared very widely with others. • Online polls or rating systems are created to mock and ridicule someone. • Someone is ganged up on in online gaming, their character repeatedly targeted, and personal information is used to threaten them. www.getcybersafe.gc.ca ABOUT CYBERBULLYING Continued
