How to deal with cyberbullying
Tip #1: Respond to the cyberbully in the right way
If you are being targeted by cyberbullies, it is important not to respond to any messages or posts written about you, no matter how hurtful or untrue they may be. Responding will only make the situation worse and provoke a reaction from you that is exactly what the cyberbully wants, so don’t give him the satisfaction.
It is also important that you do not seek revenge on a cyberbully by becoming a cyberbully yourself. Again, this will only make the problem worse and could lead to serious legal consequences for you. If you wouldn’t say it in person, don’t say it online.
Save evidence of cyberbullying Keep an offensive text message or a screenshot of a web page, for example, and then report it to a trusted adult, such as a family member, teacher, or school counselor. If you don’t report the incidents, the cyberbully will often become more aggressive.
Get help
Talk to a parent, teacher, psychologist, or other trusted adult. Seeing a psychiatrist does not mean that something is wrong with you.
Report threats of abuse and inappropriate sexual messages to the police:
In many cases, the actions of a cyberbully can be prosecuted under the law.
