  • If you are being cyberbullied or you see it happening to someone else, tell a teacher, counselor, parent or another trusted adult what is happening right away. Save the messages you’ve received so you can prove what happened, then completely block the cyberbully from contacting you. Don’t respond to and don’t forward cyberbullying messages.
  • If someone sends you nude or sexual photos or messages, don’t share them! Tell a trusted adult so you don’t get blamed or even charged with a crime.
