Tips to a Friend being CyberBullied


Cyberbullying is a major issue in the world today. With all the new social media sites being created with thousands of people making accounts, there's bound to be some cyberbullying going on. However, you can help someone being cyberbullied. I am going to give you a couple of things to go by if you or a friend is being cyberbullied:
  1. The first thing you should automatically do if you or a friend is being cyberbullied is to tell someone. I know that seems like tattle tailing but you telling someone about it could get the cyberbully in a lot of troble which is not a bad thing. You're doing the right thing by informing someone.
  2. Talk to someone about it. It never hurts to talk to someone who can help you and give you advice.
  3. Report/Block the person for cyberbullying. Yes you ca do that and I believe you can do it anonymously. Reporting the bully can result in their account being deleted or even banned so they can't bully anyone else.
  4. Stand up for yourself. I kow that is a lot easier than done but, you standing up for yourself shows the bully that you aren't afraid of them of them and might even make them back off.
  5. Log off your account, shut down your computer, walk away, and get help and advice. It is so much easier to log off your account and delete it than it is to keep going and possibly hurting yourself.
In conclusion, if you are being cyberbullied, there are so many things you can do to stop the bullying and save yourself from doing something terrible. Just remember someone is ALWAYS willing to help!
