Cyberbullying
Cyberbullying Tip #1
Don’t respond. If someone bullies you, remember that your reaction is usually exactly what the bully wants. It gives him or her power over you. Who wants to empower a bully?
Cyberbullying Tip #2
Don’t retaliate. Getting back at the bully turns you into one and reinforces the bully’s behavior. Help avoid a whole cycle of aggression.
Cyberbullying Tip #3
Save the evidence. The only good news about digital bullying is that the harassing messages can usually be captured, saved, and shown to someone who can help. You need to do this even if it’s minor stuff, in case things escalate.
Cyberbullying Tip #4
Talk to a trusted adult. You deserve backup. It’s always good to involve a parent but – if you can’t – a school counselor usually knows how to help. Sometimes both are needed. If you’re really nervous about saying something, see if there’s a way to report the incident anonymously at school.
Cyberbullying Tip #5
Block the bully. If the harassment’s coming in the form of instant messages, texts, or profile comments, do yourself a favor: Use preferences or privacy tools to block the person. If it’s in chat, leave the “room.”
Cyberbullying Tip #6
You can help someone who is getting bullied by giving them compliments, and showing them you care, just help the person out as much as you can! Be nice to that person always have their back when they need it! Never bully anyone. Always be there for someone who is hurt by cyber bullying and tell that person how to stand up for themselves.
