- - - - Cyberbullying and Internalisation - The internalisation of feelings generated as a result of cyberbullying causes hopelessness, powerlessness, sadness, and depression. Cyberbullying causes stress, anxiety, and fear, as the victim is often scared for their safety. Cyberbullying also has a large effect on a person's psychosocial development, as they often experience issues with friendships, resulting in trust issues, social anxiety, and low self esteem (Nixon, 2014).
      - Cyberbullying and Suicidal Behaviour - The relationship between cyberbullying and suicidal behaviour in high school and college level students has been examined. The results display that both the victim and the perpetrator are likely to have suicidal thoughts or attempt suicide. However, the victim is two times more likely than the perpetrator (Alavi et.al., 2017).

    - - Unethical digital behaviour is when one acts in a way that is deemed irresponsible and unacceptable to the general public. Some examples of unethical behaviour is knowingly posting something online that others did not want shared; pretending you are someone else online; copying someones work and claiming it as your own; and forgery (Whiting and Pritchard, 2017).
    - - There is no set rules to being ethical online. however, a useful practice to engage in when attempting to ensure ethical practice is to ask yourself questions such as: What language and tone are appropriate for a given situation?; What are the guidelines that govern a given online community?; How are sources used, remixed, and/or altered for a given audience? How are these sources to be referenced or cited fairly?; How do other users portray themselves online? (O'Reilly, 2021).
