Bullies feed off your reactions – so don’t respond. Use the technology to cut them off instead:

• Keep evidence– save them or take a screenshot
• Contact the service and ask them to remove their comments
• ‘un-friend’, ‘unfollow’ or block them
• Report it to NetSafe 0508 NETSAFE
• If you feel in immediate danger call 111 and ask for the Police.

Also, talk to someone you trust like a family member or your teacher about what’s happening and who you think the cyber bully is.
