    Explanation
    Cyber-bullying refers to the act of using electronic communication platforms to harass, intimidate, or harm others. It can take various forms, such as sending threatening messages, spreading rumors online, sharing embarrassing photos or videos without consent, or creating fake profiles to deceive and humiliate someone.

    If you feel you are being cyber-bullied, the best course of action is to tell a trusted adult like a parent or teacher. They can provide guidance, support, and help you deal with the situation effectively. Keeping it to yourself or deleting online content may not solve the problem and could potentially make it worse.
