Effective Action Against Cyberbullying
Effective Action Against Cyberbullying
If cyberbullying continues, actions will have to be taken to get it to stop, such as:
- Talking to a school official: Talking to someone at school may be difficult, but once you do, you may be grateful that you have some support. Schools have policies to address cyberbullying.
- Confide in parents or trusted friends: Discuss your experience with your parents or others you trust. Having support on your side will make you feel less alone.
- Report it on social media: Social media sites have strict rules on the types of interactions and content sharing allowed. Report your aggressor to the site to get them banned and eliminate their ability to contact you.
- Block the bully: Phones, computers, and social media platforms contain options to block correspondence from others. Use these blocking tools to help free yourself from cyberbullying.
