True or false? a cyberbully usually poses as the victim as a form of retaliation for something the victim has done (whether real or perceived) to the cyberbully.

This is a true statement. By taking over the victim's identity, the bully can post misleading statements or other information that can be used to humiliate or otherwise smear the name of the person being harassed. This is done to stop the victim from speaking to the proper authority figures about the harassment, for fear of further retribution.
