I'm 14 and I'm on youtube a lot, and a few months ago these two girls started bullying me and saying all this really mean stuff to me. They laid off after a few days luckily but I started seeing tons of videos about people that were bullied by these two girls. I'm not getting bullied anymore but I don't want other people to, I want to do something about this. Is there a law against cyber bullying in arizona? If there's not what can I do? How can I stop this? Their youtube channels are calliepwnsyou and anashownews if you've heard of them.. And they're going farther than just youtube too. They're bullying people on facebook and skype too including my friend. What can I do??

I don't think there's any laws against bulling.

What I suggest to do is to contact those people who have also been bullied by these people, and have each of you file a complaint and suggest these people be banned. If enough people report them, they will eventually get banned.

There are very few laws on the internet. It's not illegal in itself to bully anyone anywhere (even in person), but if the bullying includes illegal activities (like aggravated assault, libel, etc.) then technically it could be considered illegal.
