A phrase to describe the use of such entities as myspace, youtube, or any form of chat/free online discussion for the purpose of
trash-talking one's peers. Used often by ill-informed middle aged "experts" such as teachers, soccer moms, liberal politicians,
social workers, and school administrators who seek to demonize and censor myspace or any other free web usage.
Cyberbullying is often played up as a major threat to youth, although only a very small percent of young internet users are actually offended by others' trash talk and
take it to heart enough to actually consider it bullying. And, as so often happens, a few ruin it for the rest of us.
Example:
Cyberbullying (among other suppposed causes)isn't what's making kids
turn to violence, suicide, drugs, and
rebellious ways. It's the fact that there are no
morals or family structure in modern society anymore.
