The Consequences Of Cyberbullying

When bullying happens online it can feel as if you’re being attacked everywhere, even inside your home. It can seem like there’s no escape. The effects can last a long time and affect in many ways:

• Mentally — feeling upset, embarrassed, stupid, even angry 
• Emotionally — feeling ashamed or losing interest in the things you love
• Physically — tired (loss of sleep), or experiencing symptoms like stomach aches and headaches 

The feeling of being laughed at or harassed by others, can prevent people from speaking up or trying to deal with the problem. In extreme cases it leads to suicide.
