Cyberbullying is a kind of bullying which occurs online and digitally. It can happen to anyone or everyone. Cyberbullying happens in children’s mobile phones, internet, computers, video games, and tablets. The cyberbullies will post, send, or share harmful, negative, embarrassing, mean, or content about someone else in social media (F a c e b o o k, I n s t a g r a m, T w i t t e r, S n a p c h a t), text or SMS, instant message, video games messages, and email.

• 95% of US teenagers age 12-17 use smartphone s

• 81% of them use social media and go online

• 45% of them state that they go online constantly

Based on that number, the facts about cyberbullying are:
