Cyberbullying

Cyberbullying refers to the deliberate and harmful use of digital communication technologies to intimidate, harass, or manipulate individuals, typically in an online context. This behavior can occur through various platforms, such as social media, messaging apps, websites, and online games. Cyberbullying can involve actions like spreading false information, sending threatening messages, posting humiliating content, or excluding someone from online groups. Unlike traditional bullying, cyberbullying can happen 24/7, can reach a larger audience quickly, and allows the perpetrator to maintain a degree of anonymity. The impact of cyberbullying can be severe, leading to emotional distress, anxiety, depression, and in some cases, tragic consequences for the victims. Overall, cyberbullying is a modern form of bullying that exploits the anonymity and reach of the internet, requiring awareness and proactive measures to address and combat its effects.
