6. 5 Possible Solutions:
1. Limit Personal Information That is
Shared.
-If someone doesn’t know your telephone
number, address, or other personal information,
then it becomes more difficult to take online
bullying offline. One of the worst issues of
cyberbullying is that it never stops. This can
help to make it stop.

7. 5 Possible Solutions:
2. Talk to People.
-By being aware of cyberbullying and
initiating conversations about it, we can all work
together to help recognize it and then eliminate
it. Encourage children to discuss anything they
find online that makes them uncomfortable.

8. 5 Possible Solutions:
3. Never Go Somewhere to Meet a Person
You’ve Met Online.
-If you don’t know the person who wants
to meet you, then don’t go meet them. This
applies more to children than adults, but the
advice still applies. The number of issues that
people have encountered by using dating sites
is similar to the overall statistics of
cyberbullying.

9. 5 Possible Solutions:
4. Do Not Post Pictures of Your Body Online.
Any pictures that are uploaded to the
internet should be appropriate and respectful of
yourself and others. If you would be
embarrassed if someone else outside of your
friends, family, or intimate partners saw the
photo, then it shouldn’t go online.

10. 5 Possible Solutions:
5. Be Respectful to Others.
-Just because someone is being mean
doesn’t give anyone the right to be equally mean.
One of the easiest ways to stop cyberbullying is to
permanently block those who might be trying to
cause harm. This can be done by reporting emails,
messages, or status updates to the platform that
hosted the message in the first place. If you respond
in kind to a cyberbully, you’re giving them the
reaction they were wanting in the first place.
