What is Cyberbullying?
Cyberbullying occurs when a child or teen uses the Internet, emails, text messages, instant messaging, social media websites, online forums, chat rooms, or other digital technology to harass, threaten, or humiliate another child or teen.
Prevent Cyberbullying Before it Starts
To stay safe with technology, teach your kids to:
Refuse to pass along cyberbullying messages.
Tell their friends to stop cyberbullying.
Block communication with cyberbullies; delete messages without reading them.
Never post or share their personal information online (including full name, address, telephone number, school name, parents’ names, credit card number, or Social Security number) or their friends’ personal information.
Never share their Internet passwords with anyone, except you.
Talk to you about their life online.
Not put anything online that they wouldn't want their classmates to see, even in email.
Not send messages when they’re angry or upset.
Always be as polite online as they are in person.
