Bullies are always present, and it is a major issue, but with the advancement of

technology, it is now possible to create a new platform for such behavior. Cyberbullying is a

problem that is difficult to solve in civilizations that have advanced enough to have the capability

to connect with other people online. Cyberbullying affects anybody, but it is especially prevalent

among today's youth. If we can curtail this heinous behavior while kids are still young, they are

less likely to continue down that route. Regrettably, this is not a simple procedure. Parents

should be aware of the signs and repercussions of cyberbullying because it can result in

embarrassment, anxiety, sadness, and a higher risk of suicidal thoughts, attempts, and

completion.

Cyberbullying is when someone uses the internet, interactive and digital technologies, or

mobile phones to intimidate, threaten, harass, shame, or target someone else. Cyberbullying is

easily detectable; it might take the form of a letter, an email, an instant message, a text message,

or a tweet. Others are in response to a harsh, rude, or cruel status update on Facebook, Twitter, or

Instagram. Other non-obvious activities that might be termed cyberbullying include posting

private images, videos, and personal information that can be used to harass or harm another

person. However, the majority of cyberbullied teenagers do not want to report their parents or

teachers because they are embarrassed or fear that their privileges to use those technologies

would be taken away. As a result, parents must be aware of the warning indications.

These are the following:

• Families, friends and activities withdrawal

• Emotionally upset

• Being very secretive in one’s digital life


• Frequently absent in school

• Mood, sleep, behavior and appetite disorder

• Nervousness when getting an instant message over social media

• Prevent discussions about computer and cellphone activities.

Cyber bullying can create embarrassment to the target individual since it can cause

feelings of humiliation, as well as fear and perplexity. It's a worry of what others may think of

you and how they may evaluate you badly for what you've done or failed to do. If a person is

repeatedly embarrassed, he or she will develop complicated post-traumatic stress disorder, which

can lead to depression and other stress-related disorders. It will manifest as anxiety, humiliation,

and guilt. Sadness, loneliness, uncertainty, low self-esteem, academic decline, a sense of not

belonging, and social ideas and behavior are all indicators of depression. Suicide may become a

possibility if these feelings worsen. There is a strong correlation between cyberbullying and

suicide, which can be seen when a person loses interest in favored hobbies, talks about or

expresses interest in death, or says farewell.

Parents who notice a major problem with cyberbullying should contact school officials

and possibly set up a meeting with the bully's parents. As a result, schools and parents must work

together to avoid cyberbullying, which can result in embarrassment for the target person, anxiety,

depression, and other stress-related disorders, as well as a higher risk of suicidal thoughts,

attempts, and completion.
