Cyberbullying

What is Cyberbullying? 

Cyberbullying can often be related to the electronic posting of mean-spirited messages about a person (such as a student) often done anonymously. Cyberbullying can result in serious problems for those inflicting the harm and those receiving it. 

Why is cyberbullying important? 

Cyberbullying can contribute to many mental health problems, putting young people at higher risk of anxiety and depression. Those who experience cyberbullying are also at higher risk of engaging in self-harm and experiencing suicidal thoughts. 

So those who may experience cyberbullying need to reach out to adults that can help, immediately, to get the situation handled!
