It is a very disruptive form of behavior, causing people to avoid social and online situations. It is pretty much the same as real bullying, causing the same kinds of depression and suicidal tendencies. Since cyber bullying is harder to avoid its more of a problem.
It is typically done though phone's but is also rampant with online games.
Involves sending offensive/malicious messages to an individual or a group and is often repeated multiple times.
Using harsh language to argue/fight with somebody else.
Exclusion is the act of intentionally singling out and leaving a person out from an online group such as chats, games etc. Then leaving malicious messages to them about it.
Sharing personal information about someone with out their permission with bad intent.
Pretending to be someone else and harassing someone, this can also be considered cyber stalking.
Griefers are another form of trolling. It is when a person goes out of their way to impeded or destroy someone elses work.
