Cyberbullying
Cyberbullying is something
you should talk about before
it happens. It’s continuously
evolving and can happen to
anyone of any age when online.
Cyberbullying can be defined as
targeting someone deliberately online
using technology such as social media
platforms, instant messaging apps and
websites. It can include:
Hurtful messages
Excluding people from groups
Posting nasty comments
Using photos or videos of someone
without their permission
Threatening to share things
about someone online
Using fake profiles or accounts to
target, threaten or scare someone
Cyberbullying does not
require face-to-face contact.
It can occur 24-7.
