Cyberbullying

The Macquarie Dictionary (Sixth Edition, 2013) defines a cyberbully as: 

noun (plural cyberbullies)
1.  a person who bullies another using email, chat rooms, social network sites, etc.

verb (t) (cyberbullied, cyberbullying)
2.  to bully (another) in this way.

Often, cyberbullying is discussed as a particular problem for children, specially teenagers. However, OHPI believes that anyone can be cyberbullied, regardless of their age.
