IF YOU ARE GETTING CYBERBULLIED What can you do?
IF YOU ARE GETTING CYBERBULLIED • Sometimes it’s best not to respond -- kids who cyberbully like to get a reaction from their targets. • If you do respond, act assertively but calmly, telling the bully to remove the harmful material. • Report the material to your parents, your school, the police, and/or to the website. • Block the person doing the cyberbullying by deleting them from your friend or follower lists. • Check to make sure your account is private.
IF YOU ARE DOING THE CYBERBULLYING • You should know: • Lying, spreading rumors, telling secrets, and posting hurtful words and images hurts as much online as offline. • Hurtful messages can make both the target and the sender look bad. • What you do online has consequences offline. • On the receiving end of your online messages or postings are real kids with real feelings.
What can we do to prevent bullying? DO NOT BULLY. Any form of bullying (physical, verbal, relational, or cyber) will not be tolerated. Help everyone feel safe and included. Report bullying when you see it.
