Cyberbullying

As more people go online, so too has bullying. This can involve sharing mean and nasty content about a person on social media, in chat rooms etc.

What is probably the most humiliating form of bullying is when someone shares personal photos or other confidential information about a person. So get consent before you share a photo or video with others in it. And think about others before you post. Would it hurt someone’s feelings?

Don’t participate in bullying. If someone does send you a mean or nasty message, take a screenshot of the post, email or message.

Tell that person, you’re not ok with it. If they don’t take it down, report it. Then delete the message.

Have a chat with family or friends who you see are less aware of cyber security risks.

Don’t participate. If you see cyberbullying, or sharing of intimate images in a group chat, speak up. Let them know it’s not ok.
