CYBER-BULLYING

Prevention tips

Some ways to help reduce or eliminate cyber-bullying, from I-SAFE Inc.:

Tell a trusted adult about the bullying, and keep telling until the adult takes action.

Don’t open or read messages by cyber-bullies.

Tell your school if it is school-related. Schools have a bullying solution in place.

Don’t erase the messages; they may be needed to take action.

Protect yourself. Never agree to meet with the person or with anyone you meet online.

If bullied through chat or instant messaging, the “bully” can often be blocked.

If you are threatened with harm, inform the local police.
