In one of our digital leaders meetings we looked at Cyber-Bullying, this is a serious thing to do online. It is where someone bullies someone else online. If you for some unacceptable reason, you need to think about how you would feel if you were cyber-bullied as you could have the same feelings as someone else being cyber-bullied. Say if you posted a picture of yourself on social media and you got cyber-bullied for the way you look, it could make you feel insecure about your features and the way you look. If someone is bullying you online, no matter what reason for, then tell a trusted adult and keep the evidence.

If someone was bullying you on a game, don’t hesitate to report them, it could help a lot as they might not just be targeting you. If you were being bullied online, don’t just let them bully you, stand up for yourself. I they don’t leave you alone after that, then tell someone around, whether it is someone you know or not, if they are a trusted adult then they will probably be able to give more advise than anyone else on how to stop them from bullying you. If you are on a game and someone randomly starts cyber-bullying you and there isn’t a report button then maybe figure out the game developers email and tell them that they are bullying you and maybe ask them to ban the person who is bullying you. If they are making you feel upset about what they are saying or worried that maybe it could be happening to someone you know personally or online, then there are lots of people who can help you. Such people are: your teacher, parents, carers or call a ChildLine. Childline will listen to what you have to say and help you. Even if it isn’t repetitive cyber-bullying, it is still not nice to experience or do. So, in that case, stay safe online.
