Cyberbullying

With the rise in internet usage, bullying has extended into the digital world. Cyberbullying can take many forms—spreading harmful messages, posting humiliating content, or targeting someone repeatedly online.

What you say or post online can deeply affect someone’s mental health. Always be kind and think twice before you share.

Recognizing Cyberbullying

• Spreading rumors, lies, or offensive messages about someone
• Sharing private or embarrassing images or videos without consent
• Impersonating someone online to post harmful content
• Repeatedly harassing or threatening others through digital platforms

What You Can Do

• Don't engage with bullies—take screenshots of the content and report it
• Block the person and inform the platform administrators
• If the bullying is severe, talk to a parent, teacher, or trusted adult
• Support friends or peers who are being bullied by speaking up or reporting
• Think before you post—avoid sharing anything that could harm others

Cyberbullying can lead to emotional distress, anxiety, and in severe cases, long-term psychological effects. By choosing to be kind, reporting harmful behavior, and helping others stay safe, we create a better online environment for everyone.
