Cyberbullying has become an integral part of social networks, especially Facebook. People also consider it fun to harass or bully someone without revealing their true identity. This is something they cannot do openly in the real world, and Facebook gives them the opportunity to use false identities and bully, threaten, or abuse someone. But do you think Facebook would encourage this kind of behavior? No, and that’s why you’re given the option to report someone on Facebook that you see over the limit.
Now to get started with reporting, you must know about what you can report and how. If someone creates a fake account, posts hate speech, threats and bullying, or invades the privacy of others, you can report their profile, posts or comments.

You don’t need to worry about your identity as your name and other personal information will be kept completely confidential by Facebook.
Note- Remember that reporting someone on Facebook is a serious matter and as a result the reported account may be disabled or permanently deleted.
