Cyber Bullying

Don'ts

Don’t reply! The bully is expecting your response and your reaction is usually exactly what the bully wants. It gives him power over you and will most likely serve to escalate the situation. If you don’t reply, he may get bored and leave you alone

Don’t try to get back at the bully: that’ll simply turn you into a bully and reinforce his behavior

Don’t forward offensive messages and don’t read them: that only serves to strengthen the bully and hurts the victims

Don’t be ashamed! You’ve done nothing wrong.
