Cyberbullying

Cyberbullying refers to the act of harassing, threatening, or intimidating someone through digital communication platforms such as social media, websites, text messaging, or email. It involves the use of technology to target an individual or a group, often with the intent to harm, embarrass, or control them. This form of bullying can include spreading rumors, sharing private information without consent, sending threatening messages, and creating hostile online environments. Cyberbullying can have severe emotional and psychological impacts on victims, leading to issues such as anxiety, depression, and social withdrawal. Unlike traditional bullying, cyberbullying can occur 24/7 and can reach a wider audience quickly, making it particularly pervasive and challenging to address.
