Cyberbullying is a form of bullying, except it is done so through a technological device, and it can also be done anonymously. Cyberbullying can have serious mental health side effects, much like face to face bullying. To keep your child safe from cyberbullying is to educate them on what to do when they encounter a cyberbully and educate them on how they can refrain from becoming a cyberbully.

To prevent cyberbully side effects, Ms. Ashley has three helpful tips: ignore the messages, block the sender, and unplug.
