Cyberbullying

Online bullying can have a devastating impact on young people, whose online life is a key part of their identity and how they interact socially. 

Cyberbullying behaviour takes many forms, such as sending abusive messages, hurtful images or videos, nasty online gossip, excluding or humiliating others, or creating fake accounts in someone’s name to trick or humiliate them.
