"Cyberbullying is our main concern, but digital drama can take lots of forms. It is more than saying mean things about a person. In fact, some of the stress a teen can feel about online interactions isn't about bullying. It may be about other kinds of pressure and anxiety. But in general, parents are most concerned with online cruelty, so we'll talk about some of the forms that can take first:

Flaming is a heated online argument with a lot of insults thrown back and forth. These are typically instigated by the bully on a regular basis, and the victim retaliates.
Threats may happen if things get particularly heated. It is often easier to threaten violence or other harm when people can hide their identity in an anonymous environment.
Trolling is a constant stream of negative comments.

And then there are slightly subtler and sneakier forms, some of which are meant to be mean and some which are driven by other motivations.

Humiliating involves trying to cause someone to feel ashamed or foolish. An example of humiliating would be sharing an embarrassing photo far and wide on social media.
Outing is when a friend gets angry and then reveals something personal about a friend with a large group of people that was originally shared in confidence.
Excluding means ignoring or leaving someone out. It can be intentional or unintentional. A couple examples would be “unfriending” someone on social media, or posting pictures of an event knowing an uninvited person will see the pictures and feel bad.
Rumors are statements or stories that might not be completely true and are typically spread to purposely hurt others. Rumors have always existed, but with digital forums, it's easier to spread them to more people.

It's important to note that any hurtful or mean behavior online can escalate from digital drama to cyberbullying if it is repeated and unwanted."
