What Can You Do if You Experience Cyberbullying?
There are many things that can be done to combat cyberbullying. The most important thing a victim of cyberbullying can do is to NOT respond to the bully. Do not play in to the bully's games. Do not answer emails, do not respond to posts, do not engage in a chat room exchange, and do not copy what the bully is doing. Ignore the bullying and get help from parents and teachers. Also, please document any and all emails, post, blogs, or text messages you receive. This will be very important later when school officials and law enforcement officials do an investigation. Internet providers and even the police can properly deal with the bully. Cyberbullying may give bullies anonymity but it always leaves a long trial of evidence to work with.
