Cyberbullying
​Harassment: Sending angry, aggressive, or threatening texts and messages.
​Denigration: Spreading harmful rumors or fake information online.
​Exclusion: Deliberately leaving individuals out of digital groups or conversations.
​Outing & Trickery: Coaxing someone into revealing secrets and sharing them publicly.
​Impersonation: Hiding behind fake accounts or masking identities to cause harm.
​The Real-World Impact
Victims frequently experience severe mental health effects, including low self-esteem, anxiety, and depression. The inability to easily escape online platforms makes this form of bullying particularly pervasive compared to traditional, physical bullying.
​Actionable Steps to Respond
​Stop: Do not retaliate or engage with the bully.
​Block: Immediately restrict the user's access across all accounts.
​Tell: Report the behavior to a trusted adult, parent, or authority figure.
​Building safer digital spaces requires awareness and active intervention from all of us. What steps is your community or organization taking to combat online harassment and support digital well-being?
