Tips on how to deal with cyber-bullying
There are many ways that you can deal with cyberbullying. You can:
- Tell a parent, guardian or teacher
- If it gets very serious, you can report it to the police. (We recommend getting in touch with your school first!
All social media networks will have a support page (usually listed as support.example.com or help.example.com. Facebook’s one is facebook.com/help.)
Tips on going on social media
- Stick to the age limits. Most social media platforms will have a minimum age limit (usually 13.) Don’t lie about your age because the age limits are set for a reason.
- Think before you post. If you’re posting a picture of someone else, make sure you have their permission (If they took it with you, they’ll obviously say yes.) But if it’s a mugshot, ask for their permission first even if they don’t go on that social media platform.
