Visit the cyberbullying website and read through the links and learn more about what cyberbullying is all about.
Tips from www.makeadifferenceforkids.org:
Don't put yourself at risk online. Be careful who your online “friends” are and don't hang around online places where people could treat you badly.
Say "N0" to bullying. When students say NO, bullying stops within ten seconds over fifty percent of the time.
Report bullying. If you watch and do nothing, it is the same as condoning the bully's actions. Tell an adult.
Treat others with respect. Be careful how you communicate online so you are not insulting others.
Good Friends Don't Keep Deadly Secrets! If someone you know is thinking about suicide, tell an adult.
Spread the word. Tell your friends that bullying is not cool, it's cruel. Get involved in your school or community to make others aware of the consequences of bullying.
