While bullying includes actions that hurt or harm another person physically or emotionally, when the victim is part of a protected class, including race, religion, sex, disability, and other characteristics, then the bullying behavior is harassment.

3. Outing or Doxing

Outing, also known as doxing, is the act of revealing sensitive or personal information about someone without their consent to cause them harm or humiliation. In the case of cyberbullying, doxing might entail exposing sensitive photos of a personwithout their permission or sharing an individual’s private messages publicly, such as in an online chat group.

4. Trickery

Trickery is similar to outing, with an added element of deception. In these situations, the bully will befriend their target and lull them into a false sense of security. Once the bully has gained their target’s trust, they abuse that trust and maliciously share the victim’s secrets and private information with others.

5. Cyberstalking

The Cyberbullying Research Center offers this definition of cyberstalking: “the use of technology (most often, the internet) to make someone else afraid or concerned about their safety.” A particularly serious and potentially harmful form of cyberbullying, cyberstalking is a federal crime punishable by prison time and steep fines. Examples of cyberstalking include:

• Making threats via text, instant message, email, or social media
• Using sensitive photos or information to demand sexual favors (aka sextortion)
• Tracking a person’s online movements and actions
• Posting harassing or threatening statements about a person on social media
  
  
  

6. Fraping

• Fraping is a combination of the words “Facebook” and “rape.” Nolonger limited to Facebook alone, fraping occurs when a bully gains control of someone’s social media account and posts content intended to humiliate or embarrass the victim. 

While fraping is sometimes a harmless joke played on a friend who’s unknowingly left their phone or computer open to access, when it is done with malicious intent, fraping can be particularly harmful to the victim if it threatens their self-identity, harms their personal reputation, or violates social norms.
