Cyberbullying is bullying that takes place over digital devices like cell phones, computers, and tablets. Cyberbullying can occur through SMS, Text, and apps, or online in social media, forums, or gaming where people can view, participate in, or share content.

Teaching children and teens digital citizenship skills in the 21st century can help to prevent cyberbullying and its negative effects. When children learn positive online behaviours, social media can be used in productive ways. Teenagers are often the first to use new social media and digital technology.
