Cyberbullying is a very serious issue. But there are ways of safely dealing with it.
- No matter how tempted or provoked you are, do not respond to, interact with, or otherwise engage cyberbullies. This is what they want – to get rise out of their targets and by responding, you are taking their bait.
- Save the evidence. Keep all abusive messages on your computer or use monitoring software.
- Get help. You are not expected to deal with cyberbullying all by yourself. Tell a trusted adult about any threatening messages you get or anything disturbing that is posted about you online.
- Protect your privacy. Keep passwords, pictures and secrets to yourself.
- Google yourself to make sure that your name is not posted in any unwanted places/sites. Tell your parents or any trusted adult if it is. They can help you take action.
