preventative education
in our schools!”
Some teens feel threatened because they
may not know who is cyberbullying them.
Although cyberbullies may think they are
anonymous, they can be found. If you are
cyberbullied or harassed and need help, save
all communication with the cyberbully and
talk to a parent, teacher, law enforcement
officer, or other adult you trust.
How Can I Prevent
Cyberbullying?
Teens have figured out ways to prevent
cyberbullying. Follow in the footsteps of
other quick-thinking teens and
• Refuse to pass along
cyberbullying messages
• Tell friends to stop cyberbullying
• Block communication with cyberbullies
• Report cyberbullying to a trusted adult
You can also help prevent
cyberbullying by
• Speaking with other students, as well
as teachers and school administrators,
to develop rules against cyberbullying
• Raising awareness of the cyberbullying
problem in your community by holding
an assembly and creating fliers to
give to younger kids or parents
Don’t forget that even though you can’t
see a cyberbully or the bully’s victim,
cyberbullying causes real problems. If you
wouldn’t say it in person, don’t say it online.
Delete cyberbullying. Don’t write it. Don’t
forward it.
What Else Can I Do To
Stay Cyber-safe?
Remember that the Internet is accessed
by millions of people all over the world, not
just your friends and family. While many
Internet users are friendly, some may want
to hurt you. Below are some ways to stay
cyber-safe:
• Never post or share your personal
information online (this includes your
full name, address, telephone number,
school name, parents’ names, credit
card number, or Social Security number)
or your friends’ personal information.
• Never share your Internet passwords
with anyone, except your parents.
• Never meet anyone face-to-face
whom you only know online.
• Talk to your parents about
what you do online.
