HOW CAN I STOP CYBERBULLYING?
Sometimes it can seem like Cyberbullying will never end, but there are some things you can do to make it stop. Nobody has to go through online bullying alone and often the first step in stopping it is to tell someone about it, think about talking to an adult you trust. They can help you report cyberbullying and give you more confidence to deal with the situation. You might want to talk to a parent, carer, family member, or teacher.
HOW DO I STOP BULLYING ON SOCIAL NETWORKING SITES?
Social networking is a great way to have fun and keep up to date with your friends, but sometimes people use social networks to be abusive or nasty towards other people. Getting bullied on a social network can be really upsetting, so it’s important to block and report anyone who bullies you. Set up a safe profile is a really important part of social networking.

WHO CAN I TALK TO?
If you feel upset about anything you have seen on the computer or if someone has said something which makes you feel bad or funny inside – you need to tell your mum, dad or whoever looks after you at home. If you want to talk to someone else you can call Childline, which is a place where people who are nice can help you, they won’t tell anyone that you have called and it’s free. You can phone them on 0800 1111. You can also talk to your teachers if anything is upsetting you and they will help you. The most important thing is to remember to tell a grown-up you like and trust if you are unhappy or scared about anything.
