How to Protect Yourself Against Online Bullies

One of the, initial, best ways, to get rid of bullies online is to first --ignore them.

Try your best to ignore every single word they say. They will not like being ignored and they might just go somewhere else.

In the rare case that they continue, after you ignore them, please make sure that you have ignored them for enough time. Usually you will have to ignore them for a few weeks or even a month before the roughest of the online bullies decide to leave.

Now, after being patient, and you still have a bully, you would want to check online to see where you can report these cyber bullies.

Here are some very important bits of information:

• Cyber bullies generally might try and trick you into giving out your password or giving out personal information. Do not be tricked. Do not give any personal information at all to anyone online, including to your family members. Some cyber bullies will set up false emails and false accounts to mimic your friends and family. Just ignor. Talk with friends and with family in person or on the phone.
• Cyber bullies --some of them, can become real bullies in real life, if they know where you live and this is one reason why ignoring them is best. Most of them are seeking those that they can intimidate.
• Remember you are not alone. Talk with trusted friends and family and co-workers --in person or on the phone and ask their opinions of what to do.
