• Cyberbulling is done throught the use of technology like phones and internet to threaten,intimidate or harass an individual by sending objectionable or hurtful messages and embarassing pictures.It could also involve spreading mean rumours about the person to make them angry or scared.Both children and adults are victims of it.
• Constant cyberbulling can have adverse side effects on one'e mental health leading to depression and even suicide.The recent case of Hana Kimura,a 22 year. old japanese wrestler was a victim of cyberbullying who committed suicide.Many people around the world face this harassment.
• Being cyberbullied can take a toll on someone's psychological health where they could start feeling the world is against them,everyone hates them,they feel powerless and unsafe.Children and women also stop stepping outside their homes due to fear of humiliation.
• The victims feel vulnerable and dissatisfied with themselves.They start considering themselves to be worthless,who cannot deal with the bullies.For example,if a young teenage girl is fat shamed,she might stop eating food completely to stop the bullying or even commit suicide.

• Victims may feel hopeless and helpless,they might isolate themselves from the world and go into depression.
