Cyberbullying involves using electronic communication like messages or social media to bully or harass others. It can include sending mean, humiliating, or private content about someone else to damage their reputation or make them feel unsafe. Cyberbullying is a serious problem because it can be highly traumatizing for victims. It is also persistent and can happen at any time of day through mobile devices. The effects of cyberbullying can negatively impact a person's social life, mental health, academic performance, and even potentially lead to suicidal thoughts or violent behavior. It is important to protect online accounts, report cyberbullying to adults, and in some areas cyberbullying may be considered a crime under the law.
