In today's digital age, cyberbullying has become a pervasive issue affecting many young individuals. Unlike traditional bullying, cyberbullying utilizes digital platforms—such as social media, messaging apps, and gaming forums to harass, threaten, or demean others. This form of bullying can be relentless, with harmful content spreading rapidly and remaining accessible indefinitely, leading to lasting emotional and psychological impacts. UNICEF's article aims to empower teens with knowledge and tools to identify cyberbullying, understand its effects, and take effective steps to combat it, fostering a safer online environment for all.
UNICEF (United Nations Children's Fund) is a global organization dedicated to advocating for and protecting the rights of every child, everywhere. Founded in 1946, UNICEF works across more than 190 countries and territories to provide life-saving support, education, health care, and protection to children—especially those in vulnerable situations. Through partnerships with governments, communities, and organizations, UNICEF strives to ensure that every child can grow up safe, healthy, and empowered to reach their full potential in an increasingly digital and interconnected world.
