                      The digital  world  is a wonderful place. It allows people  to  connect  with friends, play games
                      and explore new things. However, just like in the real world, there are rules about how to treat
                      others online. Unfortunately, some individuals use their devices to harm others. This is known as
                      cyberbullying. In this chapter you will learn what cyberbullying is, why it’s harmful and how to
                      become responsible and kind digital citizens.

                                            “The cases of cyberbullying have risen over the years so it is important
                                                       to understand this and take steps to prevent it.”

                      CYBERBULLYING

                      Cyberbullying is the act of using digital platforms, such as social media, text messages or online
                      games,  to  intentionally  harm, intimidate  or manipulate  others.  This can  include  spreading
                      false information,  sending threatening  messages, excluding  someone  from online groups  or
                      impersonating them to cause emotional distress.
