Cyber stalking

Hi there! Cyber stalking is when someone uses the internet or other technology to make someone else feel scared or uncomfortable. It's like when you play hide-and-seek and someone keeps following you around even when you don't want them to.

Have you ever watched movies or TV shows where someone keeps sending lots and lots of messages or emails to someone else, even after they said to stop? That's an example of cyber stalking. It can also happen on social media or when someone uses their phone to call or text someone too much.

Cyber stalking is really bad and can make people feel very scared and upset. It's important to always tell a grown-up if you're being cyber stalked or if you feel like someone is making you uneasy online.
