Cyberbullying is a particular type of harassment that is done over digital devices such as cell phones, computers, and tablets. Adolescents are often targeted although people of any age can be subjected to it. According to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services website stopbullying.gov, there are three distinct types of issues that distinguish it from other types of bullying: persistence, permanency, and lack of noticeability.
It is persistent in that the devices, such as a cell phone, used to carry out the bullying are ones that are not easy to disengage from. It is permanent since, as opposed to a verbal taunt, the bullying itself is stored on a digital device forever unless specifically removed. It is hard to notice because other people, such as teachers and parents, may not overhear or see the bullying take place, and also because, thanks to the anonymity that the internet provides, sometimes the bully's identity can be completely unknown.
Cyberbullying is distinct from Trolling in that the latter is agitating groups of people as opposed to one person specifically. Trolling can easily become cyberbullying, however, should a troll turn attentions on an individual.
Can overlap with New Media Are Evil, when the digital medium itself is blamed for the bullying rather than putting the blame on the bully, Internet Jerk, when someone takes advantage of their anonymity to bully people across the internet, as well Instant Humiliation: Just Add YouTube!, when YouTube could be just one way a bully targets a victim. Thanks to the nature of smartphones having built-in cameras and wi-fi capability, the bully could also double as a malicious form of Camera Fiend. This may be one motivation for Catfishing. Eventually can involve Suicide Dare and lead to Driven to Suicide for the victim. See also Social Media Is Bad, when social networks and internet forums are seen as a way to exploit cyberbullying and as tools for cyberbullies.
This is often the subject for a Lifetime Movie of the Week.
Occasionally, when a series or movie tackles this subject, the writers did not do the research and it can lead to a Clueless Aesop when covering the issue. This falls under the Internet Safety Aesop since cyberbullying is a frequent problem.
Sadly this is Truth in Television, so No Real Life Examples, Please!

A rare heroic version of this trope occurs in South Park: The Fractured but Whole. The New Kid finds themself surrounded by the Raisins Girls and about to receive a beating—when suddenly, all of the girls' phones began beeping non-stop with rumors, fake tweets, and social media accounts vanishing. It turns out it's the work of Wendy Testaburger, whose superhero persona Call Girl is a Playful Hacker specializing in accessing people's social networks and devastating them. When used in battle, Call Girl's attacks involve hacking into people's phones for damage (and, when that fails, simply beating them with a selfie stick). It's definitely Protagonist-Centered Morality, as Call Girl is undeniably cyberbullying her targets, but it's also made clear that Wendy only goes after jerks and villains, not everyday people (and even then, Wendy is occasionally an Apologetic Attacker: "You're gonna hate me for this!").

Cyberbu//y (2011): The plot, as implied by the title, is about protagonist Taylor suffering from severe cyberbullying after insulting an Alpha Bitch online — most of the bullying involves Slut-Shaming and spreading rumors. Because the bullying is online, however, Taylor and her mother struggle to get any proper justice served over it.

Recommencer (Miraculous Ladybug):
After Marinette transfers to Rosenhart Academy, Lila "sends her off" by slandering her online, hoping to break her spirit further by showing she can't escape her reach that easily. It nearly gets Marinette akumatized, but the plan ultimately backfires when her new acquaintances prove that they aren't so easily misled by Blatant Lies.
Later, Lila falsely accuses Marinette of cyberbullying her, only to be taken aback when one of Marinette's friends claims she did it, Taking the Heat with a False Confession. On top of this, Principal Achthoven asks to see the texts in question; while Lila naturally claims to have deleted them, Achthoven points out the Absence of Evidence and asks whether anyone else had seen these messages, causing most of her classmates to start questioning her story.

Hackers: The clique at Dade Murphy's new school learn that Federal agent Dick Gill has sworn to track, identify and nullify "internet terrorists." This is the clique's Berserk Button, whereupon they amass as much personal data on Agent Gill as they can, then monkey-wrench his life. Most notably, while dining in an expensive restaurant with his wife and some friends, his credit card gets snipped in two on the spot as though he were some deadbeat.

SCP Foundation: SCP-3949 is an entity that posts fanfic and fanart online of an anime that doesn't exist. About 2% of people who see its work will start believing that the anime does exist and have memories of watching it. Since it's shown to have a very timid personality, the Foundation's containment protocol involves cyberbullying it until it deletes its accounts. It usually reappears and starts posting again after a while, but after a whole year without a reappearance, it was reclassified as Neutralized.

In Homestuck, John and his friends are harassed by anonymous jerks online, in what is explicitly referred to as trolling (and the trolls turn out to be from an alien race literally called trolls). This is contrasted with later on in the narrative when Jane and her friends are jeered (not trolled) via chat by Caliborn, who is the brother of one of their friends. After an incident where Caliborn calls Jane fat and terrible (while also hitting on her), which causes her to burst into tears, the narrative explicitly refers to this as cyberbullying. In both cases, the harassers have a near-omniscient view of the harassed's lives and actions, which they are able to exploit for their taunts.

With Confidence: Exploited by Izuku when he combs the social media of his classmates for evidence of their bullying, discriminatory attitudes and other nasty behavior. In particular, he targets the Quirkist, anti-mutant Hada Shiro after Shiro suicide baits him, sending evidence of Shiro's bigoted behavior online to every hero school he could think of. Notably, Nezu later chews him out for this, pointing out that no normal school would accept a student with such a poor reputation and that Izuku may well have created his own villain.

A key plot point in Rate This (Trust is Hard to Come By) is that Alya and the rest of Marinette's former friends have been harassing her, sending nasty texts and messages berating her for all of the ways she's supposedly been bullying Lila. After the akuma Gardener hits all of Paris with magic that reveals just how much (or how little) Ladybug trusts them, Marinette justifies her high rating by declaring that she's friends with her alter ego, and has been showing her everything they sent, much to their collective horror.

After giving this statement, the trolls target Freja by sending questions to her on a talk show mocking her breast cancer. This eventually drives Freja to kill herself and kickstarts Denmark's national contempt for trolling.

Family Guy:
One episode is about Peter and his family praying to God and apologizing for cyberbullying a girl to the point where she committed suicide.
In "Connie's Cellica", Connie D'Amico is expelled from school after assaulting Lois (who was the new music teacher). Rather than take responsibility for her actions, Connie resorts to hacking Lois' Facebook account and ruining her reputation out of spite.

House of Anubis: Downplayed in season-two. When Joy is trying to chase Nina out of the school so she can get Fabian, she takes to the internet and chooses to write a nasty, anonymous article about how much Nina sucks. All of it is done with the intention to cause harm, and her being anonymous was intended to keep her free from consequences...until she got busted, and everyone turned on her for it.

Moon Girl and Devil Dinosaur (2023) tackles this topic in its second episode. A user named SYPH0N8TR harasses Lunella's online Moon Girl fanpage with petty insults about her and Devil Dinosaur's appearances and intelligence. This extends to warping Lunella's response video into a catchy meme to double down on breaking her image.

Besties: The group of protagonist Nedjma films Zina while she's in a position that looks like she's giving a guy a blowjob, then they upload the video on a social media (implied to be Instagram). A few minutes later the video has already over 150 views and nasty/mocking comments. Zina's cousin is naturally furious afterwards and comes to Nedjma and her group the next day at the laundromat to teach them the hard way that you don't mess with her cousin. Then Nedjma deletes the video.

Cobra Kai: In Season 1, this was Yasmine's go-to tactic for making fun of Aisha's size (for example, posting: "the buffet table is under attack"). Johnny expresses disgust at cyberbullying, noting that back in his day, bullies at least took ownership and said those mean things to people's faces.
