The most important thing is knowing how to deal with it. Here are the top 9 ways to deal with cyberbullying if you’re being targeted:
- Never respond
Do not reply to anything that has been said or retaliate by doing the same thing back. Saying something nasty back or posting something humiliating
in revenge may make matters worse or even get you into trouble.
- Screenshot
If you can, take a screenshot of anything that you think could be cyberbullying and keep a record of it on your computer.

- Talk about it.
You may not feel it at the time, but cyberbullying affects you in many different ways. You are not alone. Talking to somebody about bullying not only helps you seek support but it documents evidence and will take a huge weight from your shoulders. You may even seek out from organizations such as Pineapple support
- How serious is it?
Assess how serious cyberbullying is. If it is light name-calling from somebody that you don’t know, it may just be easier to just report and block that user.
- Report it.
If you are experiencing cyberbullying from somebody report it. If somebody is threatening you, giving out your personal information or making you fear for your safety, contact the Police or an adult as soon as you can.
- Be private.
We recommend that you keep your social media privacy settings high and do not connect with anybody who you do not know offline. You wouldn’t talk to random people on the street, so why do it online? People may not always be who they say they are and you could be putting you and those that you care about the most at risk. If you have questions on social media safety we recommend that you contact our friends at 7 Veils Media.
