Meanwhile, "cyberbullying" is when the people is tormented, threatened, harassed, humiliated, embarrassed or otherwise targeted by another users that using the Internet, interactive digital technologies or mobile phones. It has to have a minor on both sides, or at least have been instigated by a minor against another minor. Keyboard warrior is one who expresses his or her negative opinion through the text-based medium of the Internet. In other words, they sit behind a keyboard and bash people. Most of these people would never make these negative comments to anyone face to face, but feel completely comfortable making them with their laptop or smartphone in hand. Instagram is an online photo-sharing application and social network platform. Instagram allows users to edit and upload photos, short videos and add a caption to each of their posts through a mobile app. Each post by a user appears on their followers' Instagram feeds. A social media user is a person who uses a computer or network service. Users generally use a system or a software product without the technical expertise required to fully understand it. Usage of the major social media platforms varies by factors such as age, gender and educational attainment.
