                     CYBERBULLYING

                     Cyberbullying is a type of online bullying that takes place on digital platforms such as social media,
                     messaging apps or gaming communities. These spaces allow people to share posts, photos and
                     messages but unfortunately, they can also be misused. In cyberbullying, a person (the attacker)
                     shares hurtful posts, false information or even private details about someone else (the victim)
                     with the intention of embarrassing, threatening or humiliating them in front of others online.
