What is Cyberbullying?
It is the use of cellphones, instant messaging, E-mail, chat rooms or social networking sites such as Facebook and Twitter to harass, threaten or intimidate someone.
1# Don't message the cyberbully back
They might take it as a challenge, and won' leave you alone afterwards.
2# Don't try to stand up and retaliate
You might say something that pulls their trigger, they might go full force on you with their words.
3# Block 'em
Afterwards they won't be able to message you anymore.
4# Save all evidence
Save 'em, then you have proof about the harassment you're having.
5# Report that person
That cyberbullying will get out of hand, stop it before that. Report the bully so that someone will take care of it.
6# Tell a trusted adult
Trusted adults need to hear about this, they can help put an end to this.
