24A,Cyberbullying

Cyberbullying is using technology to harass, threaten, or humiliate someone, which can include mean texts, social media posts, or sharing personal information online. Unlike traditional bullying, cyberbullying can be anonymous, reach a wide audience quickly, and is difficult to escape because it can happen anywhere at any time. The harm it causes can lead to severe emotional and psychological distress.

Why it's harmful
It can follow you everywhere: Cyberbullying is not confined to school or a specific location; it can occur at any time of day or night.
Anonymity: Perpetrators can sometimes hide their identity, making it harder to hold them accountable and increasing a victim's fear and confusion.
Wide reach: A single post or message can be seen by a large number of people very quickly.
Long-lasting impact: The digital content can be difficult to remove completely.
Emotional and psychological effects: It can lead to anxiety, depression, and other serious mental health issues.
