Also the researcher has listed eight different forms of cyber bullying, the first one is “flaming” flaming is sending electronic messages with angry vulgar languages through online. Second one is “harassment” harassment is repeatedly sending nasty, mean and insulting messages through online. Third is “denigration” denigration means when a person online is sending or posting rumors and gossips about a person which is not true to damage his/her reputation or friendship. The forth one is “impersonation” it means pretending or sending message in the name of another person reputation. Fifth one is “outing” outing means when leading another person’s personal information and pictures through online. The seventh one is: exclusion” it means purposely and cruelly excluding a person from an online group.
