types of inappropriate behaviours
a) Cyberbullying – Sending mean or

Can be defined as the
use of Information and Communications Technology (ICT), particularly mobile
phones and the internet, deliberately to upset someone else. Cyberbullying is a
sub-set or ‘method’ of bullying. It can be used to carry out all the different
‘types’ of bullying (such as racist bullying, homophobic bullying, or bullying
related to special educational needs and disabilities). (Robert,

Flaming is similar to harassment, but it refers to an online fight exchanged
via emails, instant messaging or chat rooms. It is a type of public bullying
that often directs harsh languages, or images to a specific person.

saying something cruel.
