Cyberbullying is bullying that uses digital technologies, and often happens along with face-to-face bullying. Cyberbullying has serious effects on children, ranging from declining grades to self-harm. Preventing cyberbullying requires a unified stance with school leadership, teachers, students, and families. Students are encouraged to report if they witness cyberbullying and avoid the tendencies to retaliate. Teachers, parents, and students should be knowledgeable of cyberbullying signs and policies. Intervention for victims of cyberbullying should focus on regaining self-respect and mental health. Cyberbullies should also be included in behavior intervention to increase their empathy and addresses mental health concerns. School leadership and teachers should foster a positive and safe online learning environment among students.
