Learn the A-Z to stop cyberbullying; go to www.makeitsafe.ph

A is for apple?  Think again.  In cyber lingo, as these parents have experienced, the alphabet takes a whole new meaning, but not necessarily all good.

These cyber expressions could range from AMP, a shorter version of a Filipino cuss word, to other derogatory terms.

Or you might have heard someone say “Go KYS” or “Reincarnate.”  These are simple but disturbing terms with the harmful intention of telling a person to “kill yourself.”

And sometimes, cyberbullying does not even use letters or words.  Instead, people resort to emojis such as a pig face or snout to shame a person for being fat, or a clown to denote stupidity.
