Conclusion

For victims of cyberbullying, the damages can be devastating. They may internalize the cruel words and harassment targeted at them and believe there is something truly wrong with them. This can lead to anxiety, insecurity, and depression, which can become serious. And cyberbullying isn’t just at school—it follows its victims home on social media, so kids can’t escape it.
