Cyberbullying is a type of emotional or verbal abuse carried out over technological platforms.
Cyberbullying comes in many forms. If you have a device that can get online, you can encounter it. Hurtful text messages: Texts are private so the only the people in the conversation know about them which can make it hard for outside parties to intervene. Harassing social media posts: Everyone can see public posts and repost them and continue to circulate them – there’s a wider audience viewing the ridicule. Threatening emails: Cyber bullies can send impersonal emails and feel detached from the outcome without the face to face interaction. Anonymous apps: A wide audience and anonymity is recipe for cyberbullying disaster. Compromising pictures: Ever had a picture taken of you that you didn’t like? Imagine what happens when that picture is posted and circulated around social media – not fun. These are just a few ways cyber bullies can hurt their victims.
