Measures to prevent Plagiarism

                 We should take the following measures to avoid Plagiarism:

                      We should always mention the source of information. The process of giving credit to the
                      author of the information and mentioning the source of information is known as citation. By
                      citing sources, we can avoid plagiarism.

                      We should use quotation marks to write the word or lines written by someone else.
                      We should rephrase the content as per our requirement to avoid plagiarism.

                      Another important way to avoid plagiarism is to include a reference page at the end of the
                      document. On this page, we can mention the links or sources from where we have taken
                      information.

                   Reference page is the last page of any document which lists all the sources you used while
                   collecting information.

                 Cyberbullying

                 Cyberbullying is the use of electronic media such as smartphones, computers and tablets
                 to harass or attack a person. It is also known as online bullying. The examples of

                 cyberbullying are:
                      Emotionally hurting other’s feelings by making fun of them on a public platform.

                      Sending inappropriate E-mails and text messages to insult others.
                      Posting photos of others on public portal without their consent.

                      Sending threatening messages to others and blackmailing them.
                 Measures to Stop Cyberbullying


                 Measures which we can take to protect ourselves from being a victim are as follows:

                      Be careful while sharing private information with others online as this could be shared with
                      or seen by people with malicious intent.
                      Don’t disclose your personal information like address, phone number and school name

                      online with unknown people.

                      It’s really important to know what to share and with whom to share. You should strictly
                      follow this while using social media and Internet.
                      All Social Networking sites like Facebook, X (formerly known as Twitter) have privacy settings

                      which allow us to control who sees our post. So, we should always review privacy settings.
                      Don’t stay quiet and don’t protect the bully. You must speak out to your parents, teachers

                      or anyone else you are comfortable with.
