The aim of this chapter is to explore and discuss the idea of cyberbullying including its various forms and methods. The reasons for cyberbullying, cyberbullying consequences, prevalence of cyberbullying, and gender disparities in cyberbullying are also discoursed. Different prevention and intervention strategies are also be explored and discussed in order to combat cyberbullying.
