This places children and young people at risk of online abuse, increasing their vulnerability to cyberbullying. Cyberbullying is widespread and affects a significant number of children and adolescents and infringes their rights to education and to health and well-being.There are considerable negative effects of cyberbullying, including on academic achievement, mental health, and quality of life in general.
