Imagine uploading a photo of yourself to social media. You feel confident and people begin to comment on how great you look. But then you notice some negativity – a few comments saying that you’re ugly, unattractive. Then imagine others joining in, taunting you, making you feel worthless.

Trolling is when a person comments online to bait people, deliberately provoking an argument or an emotional reaction. And it’s easy to find yourself a perpetrator without even realising it.
