T
ips for De
aling with Cyber Bullying
Cyber bullying is using the Internet to threaten, em
barrass, pick on, or put-down people. They
can make you pretty miserable, so if you ever run into a cyber bully
, remember these tips:
When a Bully attacks, first try to ignore or block them.
If the attacks become overwhelming or scary
, you should probably let a trusted adult know
about it.
The Bully is probably trying to pick a fight. If you can laugh it off instead of reacting or
fighting back, the Bully doesn’t get what they want.
Talk with your trusted adult about strategies to deal with the bullying and come up with a
plan together.
Be prepared to report the bully.
Be a good cyber citizen and help prevent cyber bullying
.
Save any evidence of the bullying, such as email and instant messages and screenshots of
web pages. See Hint Sheet 05 for information on how to report cyber bullying.
If you witness cyber bullying, try to do something friend
ly to help the victim, so they don't feel
alone. Don't join in and make things worse.
Protect yourself from cyber bullying as much as possible
.
Make sure that you won’t be an easy target for cyber b
ullies. Don’t share your personal
information in Cyberspace, especially photos and videos
, and don’t try to pick fights with
other people.
T
ips for Re
porting Cybe
r Bullying
Cyber bullying is using the Internet to th
reaten, embarrass, pick on, or put-down people.
Remember to save evidence of cyber bu
llying. Here’s some tips for deciding whom to report
cyber bullying to:
Contact the webmaster, site owner, or custom
er service and request that the offensive
materials be removed. If that doesn’t work, c
ontact the Web site host and ask them to pull
down the site if it violates the terms of agreem
ent.
Contact the bully
’s ISP to see if it qualifies as
abuse. They may send a warning or suspend the
user’s account. Contact your own ISP for help
with blocking an account.
Contact the phone service provider - most calls can be traced and they may be able to block
the calls or let you know where they are coming from so you can report the abuse.
Contact the school Principal or Counselor. If the cyberbullying happens at school or is
affecting the school environment they may be a
ble to intervene. If the school does not have a
cyber bullying policy
, ask them to create one.
If the bully goes to school with your child...
If the bullying happens through a cell phone...
If the bullying happens through a Web site...
If the bullying happens through Email or Instant Message...
If there is the threat of physical danger...
Contact the local law enforcement if there is the threat of physical harm. They may also have a
special cyber crimes unit that can investigate
.
