Through cyberbullying,
which is just as stressful and traumatic as any other type of bullying, a bully
sends, uploads or spreads negative, destructive, misleading or hurtful content
about another person.
When it comes to
cyberbullying, the anonymity of digital space is a huge worry because the
bully's identity may never be revealed.
Another issue raised
by cyberbullying is that a post on the internet leaves a trail that is
available to a large variety of users. Its effect, like the information it
carries, is far reaching, long lasting, and harmful.
Cyberbullying has a
negative impact on a person's psychological and emotional well-being. It has
the potential to affect a person's behavior, social and academic life, as well
as physical and mental health. The consequences might last a lifetime, and may
require the help of mental health professionals.
The anonymity of social media platforms sometimes leads individuals to believe that they may say or share whatever they want without fear of repercussions.
Everyone who uses or
engages in social media in any way is vulnerable to cyberbullying. Behind a
screen, children assume that they are safe, but they are not.
The anonymity of
social media platforms sometimes leads individuals to believe that they may say
or share whatever they want without fear of repercussions.
Bullies have more
possibilities to frighten their victims as the number of social media platforms
expands. Cyberbullying can occur on any website, including social media
platforms such as Facebook, Instagram, Snapchat, and TikTok, on mobile or
tablet devices, text messaging and messaging apps.
Children between the
ages of 12 and 15 are more likely to post or have access to social media and
other tools that allow cyberbullying to occur.
A bully is a deadly
self-loathing coward whose activities must be stopped, and that can only be
done through appropriate legislation. Let us all face them.
