Cyber-Bullying

Cyberbullying is when someone bullies, threatens or harasses you online. It can happen on social media, games or anywhere else you go online.

People might bully you by:

sending nasty or threatening messages
posting photos, videos or posts about you online, or liking posts or comments about you
trolling you or commenting on your posts or pictures saying nasty things
revealing personal details about you online
starting a group chat to talk about someone
targeting you over and over in an online game.

Cyberbullying might only be happening online, or it might be part of people bullying you in other ways as well. If you feel unsafe, always tell someone. Make sure you take these concerns to an adult you trust and let them know what’s been going on. The most important thing is to not suffer in silence.
