So, essentially, it sounds like talking about someone in a way that is anything less than entirely flattering counts as cyberbullying. Honestly, to me, the biggest surprise in this article is that only one-third of teens report being victims of these sorts of incidents. I would think, especially for teenage girls, if I remember high school correctly, that this sort of behavior would occur up around the 90-ish percent rate.According to the Pew Internet and American Life Project, the most common forms of cyberbullying are publicly disclosing someone else's private e-mail or messages, sending threatening or aggressive messages and spreading rumors online.
Pew also counts as cyberbullying the posting of an embarrassing picture of someone else without permission.
This story, however, is just sad. And hilarious. Except for the peacock, for whom it is only sad.

I think the other 2/3 just don't know about it. With a definition like that, you come up with great philisophical questions like "If you blog about something (someone) and nobody reads it, did it ever happen?"
Oh and as far as the "peacock" is concerned. It was a blood sucking evil vampire. Its not sad. That guy is a hero, he saved the world. Although why he didn't try to stake it, I'm not sure. I guess there wasn't anything handy.
Vampire Peacocks are the harbingers of the Plague Zombie Hordes.
