5 Ways to Stop Cyberbullying
- Don’t respond or retaliate. If you are angry or hurt, you might say things you regret later.
- Block the bully. Block phone numbers, screen names and email addresses and remove the person from friend/buddy lists.
- Save the evidence. Print out or take screen shots of abusive messages and keep them as proof.
- Report it. Most websites/apps have rules against cyberbullying. Check out the sites community guidelines or terms of use to report abuse.
- Tell a friend or trusted adult. Telling a teacher or a parent isn’t tattling, it’s standing up for yourself.
