Answer
Once, I stumbled upon a friend's social media page engulfed in hurtful comments and cyberbullying. Shocked and angered, I delved deeper to understand the dynamics. Unbeknownst to my friend, a rumor had spread, inviting a barrage of negativity. Intrigued by the virtual anonymity fueling the cruelty, I decided to confront the issue.
