Cyberbullying is when children or teenagers use the web, or mobile phones or any other technology to threaten, tease or embarrass another young person.Nasty messages are just one form of cyberbullying. It can also include things like emailing someone a virus on purpose, posting personal information where it shouldn't be or calling them names when playing a game together online.
