STOP CYBER BULLYING NOW!




WHAT DOES A CYBERBULLY DO?


Cyberbullies are cowardly creatures and hide behind their computers to inflict misery on others. Their bullying tactics include (but are not limited to):


Sending nasty or threatening texts or emails


Posting abusive messages online - on a social networking site, in a chat room, or using instant messaging


Posting humiliating videos or pictures online, or sending them to other people


Assuming someone else's identity online in order to upset them


Setting up a hate site or a hate group on a social network site


Prank calling, prank texts and messages


WHAT CAN WE DO?


• Don't retaliate or reply in anger - bullies are looking for a reaction and will soon get bored if they don't get what they want.


• Block the bully's texts, messages and emails using the settings on your phone, social networking profile and email account.


• Adjust social networking privacy settings to high and keep them there.


• Protect your online accounts and keep passwords to yourself. Only give your mobile number to trusted friends.


• Keep the evidence - learn how to keep records of offending messages, pictures or online conversations.
