What is Cyberbullying and how to deal with it?

Cyberbullying is a serious problem for the new world that we live in. 

Cyberbullying is the use of communication technology, such as the Internet, emails, text messages, or social media to intimidate, threaten or embarrass you. Cyberbullying is an all-new platform for bullies to torment others. This does not require any direct contact. 

It can be very dangerous as it affects the person mentally. Both, real and virtual bullying can take a toll on a person's brain. It affects their mental state and can be depressing. Some incidents are so grave that the victim is permanently affected because of harassment. 

Why is cyberbullying a serious matter?
  • Bullies can reach out to anyone, at any time. This does not require a direct physical contact. 
  • Considering the nature of social media, any content can go viral within minutes. 
  • It can take a lot of time to track the bullies online. 
Our government is taking this matter seriously and there are clauses under the IT Act (2000) to cease such activities. 

Unfortunately, cyberbullying can take place with anyone, so it is important to understand the ways to stop or curb such incidents.
