Oral presentation

Cyberbullying is when people use the internet to be mean or hurtful to others. It can happen
through messages, posts, or other online actions. The bullies might hide their identity and say or
do things that make the person being bullied feel really bad. Cyberbullying can happen at any
time, and it can affect a person's feelings, school, and even their health.
People cyberbully for different reasons. Some may hide behind the internet to be mean because
nobody knows who they are. Others might not realize how much their online actions can hurt
someone. Peer pressure, or trying to fit in with a group, can also lead people to join in on
cyberbullying.
In a 2022 Pew Research Center survey, almost half of U.S. teens (46%) reported experiencing
cyberbullying, with name-calling being the most common form (32%). Older teen girls
were mostly targeted, especially regarding appearance-related issues. Differences emerged, with
age, gender, race, and income influencing cyberbullying experiences. Despite concerns, teens
expressed skepticism about the effectiveness of measures taken by parents, teachers, law
enforcement, and social media sites, emphasizing a need for more impactful solutions, such as
criminal charges and permanent bans.

UNICEF and major platforms have the same concerns. Cyberbullying effects include mental,
emotional, and physical impacts, with long-term consequences. Seeking help and reporting
incidents are crucial. UNICEF advises victims to talk to trusted adults, even if hesitant.
Prevention involves responsible online behavior, privacy settings awareness, and reporting
mechanisms Some countries hold cyberbullies accountable while some tech companies address
the issue.
