Hello guys! I decided to make this post about "How to deal with Cyberbullying" because it might be helpful to know these in case you get Cyberbullied and you don't know what to do about it.







1. Don't Erase Evidence!Cyberbullying is easier for a bully to perform, since they don't have to do anything when the victim is right there in front of them. But you're smarter than that. You may just want to click "delete" on every hateful email, text, or IM. However, this is not the right way to go. Because there may come a time, when this bully needs to be reported- and you'll need all the evidence right there in front of you. Save and print each and every mean thing they send. Bookmark or "favorite" the webpages they diss you on. The day will come, when you'll need this untenable evidence.


2.Never participate. If you receive a "bully" message, never get more involved than you need to. Replying to that hurtful comment will only worsen the problem- what you say on the internet, STAYS there, no matter what you do; and anger, sadness, or any other emotion that can cause you to do this you'll regret. Keep yourself cool. It's okay to be upset, but responding to the bully just as they have responded to you, will fix nothing other than adding more fuel to the fire.You don't want to get the bully angrier.


3.Identify the person doing this.Emails, screennames and images of themselves can be deceiving, and temporarily disguise a bully. However, there are ways of figuring out the guilty party. First, write down the email or screenname you've received this from. Check your inbox- have you ever received ANYTHING from this person before? This may clue you in. If not, simply go to the email provider (after the @ part of the email) website, and search the screenname you have. If the profile is not blocked, you should be able to view this person's name. When all else fails, get others involved. Let your parents or teachers know about the situation. Most likely, they can track the IP address, and get the exact location of the attacker!!



4.Meet them in person.A cyber bully is nothing when not behind their internet mask. Talking to them about it upfront, might even scare them away. If this person seems not to be intimidated, or issues more violent or humiliating threats, contact an adult to intervene.This might be really helpful since the bully might get scared if an older person talks to him/her.


5.If the case is severe,press charges!Bullying of any kind is illegal in most states. After letting a parent into the situation, allow them to contact the bully's parents (if the school has not already done this). If you've suffered severely from this, or experienced humiliation or violent threats/acts, this girl/boy can be suspended, expelled, or even arrested depending on how severe they have acted towards you.



The key to deal with a Cyberbully is to NEVER deal with it alone.You will need
help from many,many people.If you have been bullied several times at School,try
try asking your mom/dad to have you HomeSchooled or try going to another School :)



Hope this helped! Your amazing Member ~TikiLiki
