Cyberbullying

 

Cyberbullying is bullying with the use of digital technologies. It can take place on social media, messaging platforms, gaming platforms and mobile phones.

 
  • It is repeated behaviour, aimed at scaring, angering or shaming those who are targeted. Examples include:
spreading lies about or posting embarrassing photos of someone on social media
sending hurtful messages or threats via messaging platforms
impersonating someone and sending mean messages to others on their behalf. 
 
Face-to-face bullying and cyberbullying can often happen alongside each other. But cyberbullying leaves a digital footprint which is a record that can prove useful and provide evidence to help stop the abuse.
