Cyberbullying

Cyberbullying is the risk parents name first and recognise last. It rarely announces itself. It shows up as a child who stops eating lunch at school, who flinches at a notification, who suddenly has a reason not to go on Tuesday.

Articles under this category cover the signs worth watching for, what to do in the first hour once you know, how reporting actually works on the platforms kids use, and why taking the phone away is usually the one response that guarantees they won’t tell you next time.

These articles are general information, not clinical advice. If you are worried about a specific child, talk to a school counselor or a qualified mental-health professional.
