Cyberbullying is when someone deliberately attacks another person using text or video messages or over the Internet using emails and social networking sites such as Facebook and YouTube. The person being bullied often feels scared and not even safe at home while the bullies can spread lies and post nasty pictures about the victim. Often children think it’s ok to tell lies online which they wouldn’t do in the real world. It’s important to treat people the same online as you would do ‘offline’.
