Examples of Cyberbullying

Below are the 3 main examples of cyberbullying: 

1. Making up rumors: Imagine if a student makes a pretend account on social media and tells lies about someone else from their class. This can make the person feel really embarrassed and upset.
2. Threatening messages: Sometimes, someone might get scary messages or mean comments on their social media posts from people they don’t know. This can make them feel scared and unsafe.
3. Sharing private photos: Let’s say a bunch of classmates share private pictures of one of their friends without asking. This can make the person feel really ashamed and left out of their group.

Cyberbullying is bullying that happens over digital devices like cell phones, computers, and tablets. It can occur through SMS, text messages, apps, or online on social media, forums, or gaming platforms where people can view, participate in, or share content. Cyberbullying includes sending, posting, or sharing negative, harmful, false, or mean content about someone else. It can also involve sharing personal or private information about someone to cause embarrassment or humiliation. Some forms of cyberbullying cross the line into unlawful or criminal behavior.
