Exclusion can happen in a number of ways:

2. Harassment
Harassment is a sustained, constant and intentional form of bullying comprising abusive or threatening messages sent to your child or to a group.

This is a very dangerous form of cyberbullying. It can have serious implications for your child’s wellbeing.

The messages are generally unkind or malicious, can impact their self-esteem and confidence, and can make them fearful. The constant messaging means that there is no respite from the cyberbully. The cyberbully makes extreme effort to cause fear and pain.
