social media bullying

Social media bullying involves using online platforms to intentionally hurt, threaten, or demean others through hurtful comments, messages, or posts. It can take various forms, including harassment, spreading false information, or excluding someone from online groups. Because interactions happen digitally, bullies might be anonymous or feel less accountable, which can intensify the impact. This behavior can cause emotional distress, anxiety, or even long-term psychological harm for victims. Addressing social media bullying requires awareness, responsible online behavior, and supportive measures to foster respectful and safe digital spaces.
