Advice for Children & Young People
- Always respect others- be careful what you say online and what images you send.
- Think before you send- whatever you send can be made public very quickly and could stay online forever.
- Treat your password like your toothbrush-keep it to yourself. Only give your mobile number or personal website address to trusted friends.
- Block the bully- learn how to block or report someone who is behaving badly.
- Don’t retaliate or reply!
- Save the evidence-learn how to keep records of offending messages, pictures or online conversations.
- Make sure you tell: an adult you trust, or call a helpline like Childline on 0800 1111 in confidence. Your School- your teacher or the anti-bullying co-ordinator can help.
Finally, don’t just stand there- if you see cyber bullying going on, support the victim and report the bullying. How would you feel if no one stood up for you?
