Teenagers interacting through social media avenues such as Facebook may

encounter bullying situations, stated O’Keeffe and Klark-Pearson. The authors of
the AAP report, define cyberbullying as the deliberate use of digital media to hurt,
embarrass or share hostile information about someone else. With the social
interactions that take place between “friends” on Facebook, it’s common for
cyberbullying situations to occur. The results of cyberbullying can include anxiety,
depression and even suicide.
