Cyberbullying, bullying that takes place on now, is now taking form with the use of slang. Learn about the slang teens use to cyberbully others. <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

After the blog post I recently did about teens and emojis<\/a>, I sort of tumbled down a rabbit hole. It turns out that, like my tween has been telling me basically her whole life, I am tragically uncool. I was born in the 80s and grew up on Dave Matthews and AOL Instant Messenger. A phone was something that hung on the wall in my kitchen (and eventually, at age 16, I was allowed a cordless version in bright, clear teal, in my bedroom) that enabled me to talk to someone else and nothing more. The Internet was just getting started, and the idea that one day I\u2019d be able to manage most of my life on a small smartphone that fits in the palm of my hand was out of this world. And yet, here we are.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But I digress. Back to the rabbit hole that, like Alice, I tumbled down into another world that I\u2019m not certain I was ready for. Cyberbullying<\/strong>. It\u2019s heavy. And very serious. Because kids are so connected these days, they are susceptible to bullying 24\/7. They can be relentlessly harassed at school, at home, online, on their phones\u2026 Basically nowhere is safe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cyberbullying is very scary.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Making matters worse is the fact that kids now have different slang terms <\/a>they use to describe the ways in which they are cyberbullied<\/a>. There are different ways you can behave online, and your behavior as a cyberbully can be described in a number of different ways by a number of different words. Some are more obvious than others. But they are all code for the same thing: online or cyberbullying.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Slang Teens use to Cyberbully Others<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Let\u2019s start with a term you probably already know- troll. Actually, the dictionary definition of a troll is harsher than what I had in my head. I\u2019ve always used to troll to refer to someone who was sort of cyberstalking and lurking- \u201cI was trolling your Facebook page to see what kinds of content you post.\u201d But, in reality, a troll is someone who aims to offend others by posting offensive or inflammatory content online. I guess I will stop using the word troll so cavalierly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here are a few other terms I came across that worried me. If you ever hear of your child doing these things or having these things done to them, you should absolutely ask more questions and raise red flags.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Seven Cyberbully Slang Words Every Parent Should Know<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Happy Slapping<\/strong>– If someone is happy slapping, he or she is filming another person being physically assaulted and then spreading the video around the internet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fraping<\/strong>– This word is the combination of Facebook and rape. It originally referred to a person logging into another person\u2019s Facebook account and posting inappropriate content but now refers to someone logging in to any social media account that belongs to someone else and behaving inappropriately.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Flaming<\/strong>– Intentionally posting negative or inappropriate things to incite fights online.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Clickjacking<\/strong>– When malicious code is hidden behind an innocent-seeming link that tricks the user into clicking it and compromising personal information or files on their computer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Swatting<\/strong>– Making a false report of an ongoing crime to try and get law enforcement, especially the SWAT team, to respond to a call.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dox<\/strong>– The act of posting someone\u2019s personal information without permission in an environment that makes the act intimidating or threatening. For example, posting a gamer\u2019s physical address to encourage others to go to his or her location.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
