Two examples of how cyberbullying may discourage learners from participating in activities that promote career development are:
- Fear of Judgment: Learners may avoid networking events, workshops, or online career-related activities due to fear of being bullied or ridiculed online. This fear creates anxiety and avoidance of opportunities that could benefit their career growth.
- Reduced Participation: Cyberbullying can lower a learner's self-esteem and cause anxiety, leading them to shy away from extracurricular activities, leadership roles, internships, or public speaking opportunities that are important for skill development and career advancement.
Both these effects limit learners' exposure to valuable opportunities for career exploration and growth.
