Direct Action
Try this if you're invited to join a cyber
fight:
"I totally understand that you are having a problem with this
person, but I can't get involved. I'm not going
to talk to [the suggested target], either. No matter what happens
between the two of you, things between us will stay the same."
What to say when you're in the fight:
"I really don't want to talk about this online.
I think it's easier to talk over the phone or in person.
Can I call you right now? (or, Can we talk tomorrow at school
at [suggested time]?").
What to say when someone tries to involve you in bullying:
"I don't feel comfortable doing this (or "I'm
not cool with this"). Let's talk later."
or
"Check out this amazing [website]
[download] [song] [video]!" In other words, change the
subject.
