Many young people are suffering silently due to online harassment, blackmail, and humiliation. Sadly, many children do not get the help they need from their families, schools, or even from the local police. This situation calls for urgent action. Schools must teach students about digital safety and mental health. Parents should educate their children on digital safety, and the government must establish stringent rules regarding the usage of social media platforms.
