Examples of cyberbullying include sending hurtful texts or instant messages, posting embarrassing photos or video on social media, and spreading mean rumors online or with cell phones" (What is cyberbullying?, n.d.)

Sexting

Why is sexting a problem?
"A photo shared between two people can quickly become a viral phenomenon. A child may believe it will be kept private and then discover it has been shared widely with their peers, sometimes with grave consequences. These include arrests of teens who shared photos of themselves or other underage teens and suicides of teens who had their photos shared" (Matte, n.d.). Check out the video below to see an example of how this seemingly innocent picture exchange can turn into a big problem.
