Impersonating: Did you know?

Did you know that Impersonating someone is considered cyberbullying? We have all seen the MTV show Catfish, but what the show fails to mention is that “Catfishing” somebody is the same thing as cyberbullying.

Impersonating is defined as: the act of taking on an identity that is false for the purpose of tormenting a person and damaging their reputation. Impersonation can also be acted out by pretending to be the victim also by creating a false identity or profile.
