CYBERBULLYING
Cyberbullying is any form of bullying that occurs online and/or through electronic devices such as smartphones and tablets.
Cyberbullying includes sending, posting or sharing negative, harmful, false or malicious content about another person. This may involve sharing personal or private information about others, which may cause embarrassment or humiliation. Some cyberbullying crosses the line into illegal or criminal activity.
