Cyber Bullying

It's no secret that mean people don't only exist in day-to-day life; they're on the Internet as well. Apparently, some people aren't creative enough to think of anything better to do with their computers than harass others. Fortunately, just because these people are frustrated with their lives doesn't mean that you should have to deal with them when you log on.

If someone harasses you online, just block them. Don't open their messages and don't respond. These kind of people crave attention; ignoring them is the right thing to do. It is smart to save their messages though, in case they become a more serious threat. Then, if you need to get an adult involved, you can show the adult exactly what has happened so they can help. That adult will help if you need to talk to your school or even the police.
