Is this cyberbulling?

[anonymus 164]

So i played fortnite with my friends an one of them asked me: 

Yo (my name)..., can I say something about you to (my others friends name) ...?

He said to me what it was. I said no. But he did not care and said to him. Can I report him for this and get some information from you guys, If he gets reported, will he know that i reported him?

Hi @anonymus 164, I can see that you are new here so I wanted to start off by welcoming you to the platform . I'm really glad you found us! I'm Aurora and I am one of the support mentors here. 

Thanks so much for reaching out and letting us know what happened with your friend. It sounds to me like he broke your trust and I can understand why you're upset by what happened. However, I am not sure that this would be considered cyberbullying. It does depend a bit on what exactly it was that he shared with your other friend. Do you feel comfortable telling us, what it was that he said? No problem at all if you don't want to tell us. You can also send us a confidential support request and talk about it there if you would prefer that. Messages on confidential support can only be seen by us support mentors and no one else. It's a safe, confidential space where you can talk about anything that is on your mind.

You can access confidential support (CS) here https://forums.ditchthelabel.org/support/  Just to let you know though, that we are having problems with our confidential support at the moment. However the technical team is working hard to resolve this and hopefully it will be up and running again by the time you're next online. I just wanted to mention it in case you do decide to use CS. You can also send me or one of the other @Digital Mentor a DM in the meantime if you would prefer. 

With regards to your question as to whether you can report him. You always have the option to report someone, however it does depend on what your friend said as to whether any action will be taken or not. Can I ask, did your friend sent a written message to your other friend and if so, was this in private or in a group chat? Also, did all of this happen on Fortnite or on a different platform?
