How does it differ from normal bullying? • Invasion of personal space • 24/7 • Size of the audience and the number of unwitting bullies • Less empathy (not face to face)
Cyber Bullying - Advice • Same as normal bullying, but totally traceable • Never rise to nastiness. Block it and report it. Remove people from your friends and if necessary, report them to the people that run the website. • Adjust your privacy settings so that only people you choose can see your profile. Make yourself un-findable in searches and set your profile to private if you want. • Think about what you post. Only write things online that you would say to someone's face. You don't have to join in on forwarding embarrassing stuff.
