Electronic bullying involves recurring or repeated harm willfully inflicted through the medium of electronic text. In order for it to be Electronic-bullying, the intent must be to cause emotional distress, and there must be no legitimate purpose to the communication. It can be as simple as continuing to send e-mail to someone who has said they want no further contact with the sender, but it may also include threats, sexual remarks, pejorative labels (i.e., hate speech).
Bullying others, especially over a computer screen does not make you a better person.

4. If messages are threatening or serious get in touch with the police. If it's threatening, it's illegal.
5. Don't reply to bullying messages. It'll only get worse if you do. By replying the bully gets what he or she wants. Often if you don't reply the bully will leave you alone.
6. Change your contact details. Get a new user name for the Internet, a new e-mail account, a new mobile phone number and only give them out to your closest friends.
