Today’s world is being made smaller by technology. New age problems are being born. No doubt technology has a lot of benefits; however, it also comes with a negative side. It has given birth to cyberbullying. To put it simply, cyberbullying refers to the misuse of information technology with the intention to harass others. Subsequently, cyberbullying comes in various forms. It includes masquerading (creating a fake identity to bully someone), harassment (threatening, annoying, embarrassing someone), outing (revealing personal/sensitive information of someone), anonymity (someone hides their identity to take advantage of another), and flaming (using profanity to insult someone). As everyone is caught up on the social network, it makes it very easy for anyone to misuse this access and take advantage of others in any way.
