Cyberbullies can send harmful messages several ways. Cyberbullying can come in the form of direct, attacking emails or text messages. These messages often contain threats, insults and sexual or racial slurs. Cyberbullying can also occur in Web forums. Bullies may pose as the person they’re trying to humiliate on public sites and post defamatory comments towards themselves.

“Dr. Caudle advises that, in addition to interacting more with their children, parents should also take the necessary preventive measures to create safe places for their children to get away from cyber-bullying. “The home should be a safe place where open discussion is not only allowed, but invited,” says Dr. Caudle. Parental supervision and involvement in a child’s social interactions allows for a sense of comfort and protection from bullying. ”
