Cyber Bullying: is the electronic posting of mean-spirited messages about a person, often done anonymously.
Cyber Ethics: help Internet users understand what type of online behavior is right and wrong.
Cyber bullying and poor cyber ethics are threats many teens and young adults face not from strangers, but from their own peers.
Whatever anyone posts online about another person can be spread virally, resulting in serious, unwarranted damage to an individual's reputation or personal well-being.
If you are being cyber bullied, report it to a trusted adult-a parent, teacher, etc.
Avoid being a cyber bully and practice good cyber ethics by:
-Following the Golden Rule-Be nice online and in real life.
-Not saying or doing anything online that you wouldn't say or do in person.
-Owning and taking responsibility for your actions.
