Greetings to all members of this great community and i am pleased to be here today. I sincerely thank the organizers of this great contest as this will help us to learn and know more about Cyber bullyings. More details of this can be seen below:

What is your understanding on Cyber bullying?

Cyber bullying is the act where many persons are been deceived by others to invest cash on fake platforms thereby extracting cash from the public. Today we can see that the social media is the easiest way to bull one another and this is most common amongst the youth via digital technology.

This cyber bullying can take place via, mobile phones, gaming platforms, messaging platforms etc. All it focus on is to make sure lies are spread, abusive messages and even sending videos and photograph which are not genuine all these is for a threat.

Today many Facebook account had been harked and those accounts are now used to chart friends and family as if its the original user of the account. Many will be deceived and a reasonable some will be collected from them.

Have you ever been a victim or perpetrator of Cyber bullying?

In different occasions,i have run into this cyber bullying on social media but was able to detect it early so i was not scammed and i have not scammed anyone before.

Give an instance (if any) wherein you or someone you know felt bullied in cyberspace, and what spiked such a feeling. (It could be throughout any social platform)

My friend's account was harked and it was used to chart me up, but while charting with the prospect, i told him that i was not hearing his voice behind the text.

So i had to call my fried to find out if he was the one but i discovered he wasn't. I was able to scale through that bullying. Below are screenshot of our conversation.

When you look carefully, you will see that i was surprise of what i was hearing from my guy which was stringed to my hearing and that is the reason i couldn't be a victim but according to my friend, he said many of his family members was scammed. This was on Facebook messenger.

How did this encounter affect this said person?

This has really affected my friend because nearly all his friends were chart up using the harked account.

We all know that before people send money to you, first of all, they must trust you and you should be a very sincere person.

Many persons have called him and complained that their investment has not been received and this has caused more problems to him.

He went forth and created another account but the issue he has now is, he has lost the trust. No one would ever accept any investment add he is running online (if any) because of the past experience.

How safe do you feel on Steemit? And have you ever felt bullied at any point in time? (on Steemit)

Steemit ecosystem is one of the most trusted social media i have ever seen and i am full of confident on steemit ecosystem. A platform where all users can assess one another wallet but cannot make withdrawal.

However, there was a certain time i posted a publication on steemit infinity zone(community) and someone dropped a comment on my post, instructing me to click on the link in order to get high vote, but since the community admin were active, they had to instruct me not to click on the link.

This was how my account was on a safe side and since then, i have not experienced such again

What lessons did you gain from such a scenario? And what advice can you give to your audience?

I really learnt allot from the chart on Facebook through my friend's harked account. Since i was not a victim of that circumstance, i will never fall victim in any social media platforms.

Secondly, i have learnt not to click on any link on Steemit blockchain which i am not cleared on and this discipline has really help me.

I will also advised the public to equally make sure that they are not deceived by cyber Bullying.

Conclusion

Cyber Bullying is the most common thing now on social media and if you are not wise, you might become a victim.

For you to be free from it, you should make sure you are charting with the right person, if possible you can make a video call to be really sure of who you are charting with.

Do not click on links that you don't know and understand the source, and if all thesr are in place, you won't be a victim to cyber bullying.
