Other Things You Can Do

Like we’ve already said, people who cyber bully do it because it makes them feel powerful. Anything that you can do to give the impression that you are not bothered will make it less satisfying for the person doing it. For example:

• Try to hang onto and remember the things that you are good at and make you feel good. This can help to cancel out the way the cyber bully makes you feel.
• If you are being cyber bullied, try to act like you’re not bothered and that you think what’s being said is ridiculous.
• Try to hold your head up, even when you wish the ground would open up and swallow you. If you refuse to look like a victim, the cyber bully may well get bored.
• Don’t cyber bully back.It will distract from the real issue - their cyber bullying. You don’t have to be a doormat, just don’t be provoked into retaliating because that’s exactly what the cyber bully wants.
