Cyberbullying is when someone uses the internet to be mean to a child or young person so they feel bad or upset. It can happen on a social media site, game, app, or any other online or electronic service or platform. It can include: posts, comments, texts, messages, chats, livestreams, memes, images, videos and emails.

These are some examples of ways the internet can be used to make someone feel bad or upset:

• Sending hurtful messages about them.
• Sharing embarrassing photos or videos of them.
• Spreading nasty online gossip about them.
• Leaving them out online. 
• Creating fake accounts in their name.
• Tricking them into believing you are someone else.
