you list your home address or phone number there, it will make you a potential target of
cyber bullying easily.

ters on social media. Keep the informations limited within your group of friends and family.
Most importantly, never ever share your internet password and account details with anyone.
Keep all this information to yourself alone. Be alert and do not click on mysterious links,

is wrong and right.

online activities and limit their usage. Most importantly, cyber bullying must be reported
instantly without delay. This can prevent further incidents from taking place. .
