2. Cyberbullying or cyberharassment is a form
of bullying or harassment using electronic
means. It has become increasingly common,
especially among teenagers.
Harmful bullying behavior can include
posting rumors, threats, sexual remarks,
a victim’s personal information, or pejorative
labels

4. Bullying or harassment can be identified by
repeated behavior and an intent to harm.
5. Awareness in the United States has risen in
the 2010s, due in part to high-profile
cases. Several US states and other countries
have laws specific to cyberbullying. Some are
designed to specifically target teen
cyberbullying, while others use laws extending
from the scope of physical harassment. In cases
of adult cyberharassment, these reports are
usually filed beginning with local police.
6. Internet trolling is a common form of bullying
over the Internet in an online community (such
as in online gaming or social media) in order to
elicit a reaction, disruption, or for someone's
own personal amusement. Cyberstalking is
another form of bullying or harassment that
uses electronic communications to stalk a
victim; this may pose a credible threat to the
victim.
7. Cyberstalking is a form of online harassment in
which the perpetrator uses electronic
communications to stalk a victim. This is
considered more dangerous than other forms
of cyberbullying because it generally involves a
credible threat to the victim's safety.
Cyberstalkers may send repeated messages
intended to threaten or harass. They may
encourage others to do the same, either
explicitly or by impersonating their victim and
asking others to contact them.

10. Victims may have lower self-esteem,
increased suicidal ideation, and a variety of
emotional responses, including being scared,
frustrated, angry, and
depressed. Cyberbullying may be more
harmful than traditional bullying.
12. Internet addiction disorder, also known
as problematic Internet use or pathological
Internet use, refers to excessive Internet use
that interferes with daily life.
13. Addiction, defined by Webster Dictionary as a
"compulsive need for and use of a habit-
forming substance characterized by tolerance
and by well-defined physiological symptoms
upon withdrawal", was traditionally used to
depict a person's dependence on the substance.
More recently, the concept has been applied to
behavioral dependence
14. Including internet use. The problem of Internet
addiction evolves together with the
development and spread of Internet. As
adolescents (12–17 years) and emerging adults
(18–29 years) access the Internet more than any
other age groups and undertake a higher risk
of overuse of the Internet, the problem of
Internet addiction disorder is most relevant to
young people.
15. Excessive use of Internet has been found by
various studies to disrupt individuals' time use
and have a series of health consequences. But
the existence of Internet addiction as a mental
disorder is not yet well recognized. The current
version of Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of
Mental Disorders (DSM-V) noted that Internet
gaming disorder is a condition that requires
more research in order to be considered as a
full disorder in 2013.

17. The short-term effects of an online addiction
include unfinished tasks, forgotten
responsibilities and weight gain. Long-term
effects are seen more in the physical
symptoms such as backache, neck pain, carpal
tunnel syndrome, and vision problems from
staring at the screen.
