Cyberbullying
Virtual communities, e-mails, social networks, blogs and mobile phones are ways
for young people to live together. In these ways, they expose themselves publicly,
make friends and share ideas.
Cyberbullying is bullying carried out through digital technologies. It can take place
on social media, messaging and gaming platforms and mobile phones. It is
repeated behavior intended to frighten, infuriate or embarrass those who are
victims.

in ten young people has already suffered a cyber attack.
This occurs in greater numbers among young people, who have great difficulties in

some cases, need psychological support.Unfortunately, using the internet to
organize attacks on people's honor has been a very common practice. These
actions have wreaked great havoc on the victim's life.
