-What is cyberbullying?
+====== Cyberbullying======
-Cyberbullying it is an intentional and repeated harm inflicted through the use of computers, cell phones, and other electronic devices (https://cyberbullying.org/what-is-cyberbullying). Cyberbullying describes bullying using mobile phones and the internet (Smith, și alții, 2008).
+\\
-Cyberbullying is define as ”being hostile towards others and causing intentional harm. It is also a form of persuasion where people can persuade the victim thatthey are bad and undesirable people and also persuading others to think negatively andhatefully towards the victim” (Nycyk, 2015).
-Cyberbullying is bullying behaviour, using digital technology, including the internet, email or mobile phones. Like any bullying, cyberbullying often occurs between people that know each other (colleagues, club members,  people from the same social circle, friends). Cyberbullying is pervasive and incessant. It differs from face-to-face bullying in that the bully can ‘follow’ their victim 24/7. Cyberbullies may take advantage of the perception of anonymity (e.g. using an account in a fake name, or a blocked number). Cyberbullying can be particularly harmful as it is often a public form of humiliation and many others are able to see what is written or posted. Once something is published online, it is difficult if not impossible to remove all traces of it.
