If you are being bullied and need support, it is important that you read this factsheet and go to the Get Help section.

For example, using the Internet, a mobile phone or a camera to hurt or embarrass someone is considered cyberbullying. It can be shared widely with a lot of people quickly, which is why it is so dangerous and hurtful. -
