How to deal with Cyberbullying
What is cyberbullying?
Cyberbullying is the repetitive and intentional hurting of a person or group of people that happens online. It can happen via text, email and on social networks and gaming platforms.
Top tips
- Save the evidence and show a trusted adult at home or at school. You can do this by taking a screenshot of what has happened or by keeping the messages you have received.
- Don’t reply. Most of the time a bully is looking for a reaction when they are being mean online. Instead, tell a trusted adult what has happened.
- Use the tools available. Report, block and take a screenshot. You can report a person or profile, as well as content, e.g. a post, video or comment. This will then be flagged to the service who will review it against their terms and conditions.
- Speak to school.
