So how can we stay safe?

Cyberbullying

Phishing Emails

Leaving rude or hurtful comments on someones posts 

Sharing images that someone doesn't want shared

Writing mean things about someone online

Saying hurtful things over a mic 

It can occur:

• Social media such as Facebook, Twitter, Snapchat, Instagram or TikTok
• Text messages or other messaging applications, e.g., WhatsApp
• Online forums such as reddit
• E-mails
• Online gaming communities such as Fortnite

If you think you are being bullied, the first thing to do is to reach out to someone you trust, such as your parents, your form tutor, or your favourite teacher.

If you are not comfortable talking to someone you know, you can call a helpline number. 

When online, you can always block their account. On instagram in particular, when you block someone, it gives you the option to block any accounts they may make in the future too.
