I think that 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. Cyberbullying includes sending, posting, or
sharing negative, harmful, false, or mean content about someone else. It can
include sharing personal or private information about someone else causing
embarrassment or humiliation. Some cyberbullying crosses the line into unlawful
or criminal behaviour. The most common places where cyberbullying occurs are:
Social Media, such as Facebook, Instagram, Snapchat, and Tik Tok, text messaging
and messaging apps on mobile or tablet devices, Instant messaging, direct
messaging, and online chatting over the internet, Online forums, chat rooms, and
message boards, such as Reddit.

limited to verbal or physical bullying. Keep reading for more on how bullies use text
messaging to harass others and how to prevent being a victim. Text bullying has
become a serious problem among adolescents and teens. It can have devastating
consequences, and parents may not even know it’s occurring. Parents can play an
important role in preventing text bullying and helping teens who have been the
victim of a bullying through text messages. Text bullying is sending mean,
embarrassing, untrue, or hurtful message to or about someone using cell phone
text messaging. This can also include sexting, or sending sexually suggestive text
messages to someone or about someone.

Tell an adult you trust if you are being cyberbullied. don’t respond or retaliate to
bullying messages – it could make things worse. Block users who send you nasty
messages. Save abusive emails or messages (or texts) you receive. Make a note of
dates and times you receive bullying messages, as well as details you have of the
user’s ID and the URL. Don’t pass on any cyberbullying videos or messages – this is
cyberbullying. If you are bullied repeatedly change your user ID, or profile, and use
a name that doesn’t give any information away about you.

They can both hurt a lot because if someone says it to your face it won't feel
good and can hurt you mentally and if someone says something online it
can also hurt because saying it through text message or email is like as if
they do not want to see you and tell you in person which can also affect your
metal health.
