What is Cyberbullying?
Cyberbullying is bullying
with electronic devices
and equipment:
Like cellphones, computers
and tablets, as well as
communication tools including
social media, text messaging,
chatrooms and websites

THE DIFFERENT KINDS OF CYBERBULLYING
ANONYMITY
Is when somebody is being mean to you
on the internet without telling you their
name. This makes it harder for the victim
to find out who is threatening them.
Mostly the bullies do not want to get
found.
CYBERSTALKING
Is a form of being mean to someone through cyber communication
such as in text messages and emails. The victims often worry that
the ,,cyberstalkers’’ will become ‚,real’’ stalkers.
FLAMING
Normally is used in chatrooms or messages. The
bullies use bad languege to insult and use emotional
pressure.

EXAMPLE: CYBERSTALKING
To write rumours, threats, rude or mean
comments or messages, or even writing
embarrassing things about someone.
A boy gets harassed
on the internet

LILA: how r u?
WUWU: i hate u!
LILA: who is this?
WUWU: no one likes u!
LILA: violet is that u?
WUWU: don‘t come back to school, kill yourself.
This is
cyberbullying

People even get suicidal
because of

Reasons kids may cyberbully:
they are bored they are angry
for ‚fun‘ unintentionally

A cyberbully
is usually a
popular
person,
which has
many friends
(by-standers)
to help him
bully
He/she
probably
knows how to
use social
networks
Sometimes
he/she has
been bullied
before
Behind the
screen he/she
feels more
powerfull
He/she might
see it as a way
to stay popular.
Cyberbullying allows
bullies to avoid facing
their victims, so it requires
less courage and provides
the illusion that bullies
won’t get caught.
When it comes to
cyberbullying, they
are often motivated
by anger, revenge
or frustration.

Is a By-stander also a Bully?
YES NO
•Because they don’t help the
bullied person
•They watch it happen
•They think by just watching
they can get away with it
•There is no reason for them
not to be a bully. If they do
not help then they exclude
themselves from the group
making them a bully too
•They don‘t DO anything
•They don‘t intend to
encourage the bullying
(but they do)
•They don‘t hurt someone
directly
What do YOU think?

Hihihihihihihi
hihihihi
He/she is
the only
bully
Not just the bully laughs, also the bystanders. So now more and more people are
“helping“ the bully. That‘s why bystanders are also bullies.

„I HATE YOU!
YOU ARE SO WEIRD!!
NOBODY LIKES
YOU!“

Why do bullies bully?
Bullies bully because they have some sort of problem. Usually they
are really really really really really really really really really really
really really really really really really really really really really
really really jealous, stupid, hateful

...ever since then I've been so insecure and
I now have an eating disorder because of
her. Because of the things she has said I
have a problem with self-harm as well.. She
still sends me random messages putting
me down. She even got the whole school to
dislike me for a while.. I just wish I had
somebody to talk to and for someone into
be here for me...
“
A Victim‘s Quote

 Embarrassing stuff could
be published
 The bully can bully a
person from anywhere
through a phonenumber/
e- mail address
 People all over the world
could bully a person
 If anything is published on
the internet it is hard to get
rid of it!!!

Do not feed the trolls!
Do not respond to the bully
because your reaction is just
what the bully wants; it gives
her/him power over you.

What else can you do against cyberbullying?
- when you get bullied on social media, block the
bully and make sure that you have no contact with
him/her via the internet.
- speak with someone you trust, even though it
might be hard. These persons can be: social
pedagogues, teachers, friends, parents or
generally your family.
Remember it can be very hard for someone e.g.
the family or the teachers to see that someone is
getting cyberbullied, so you may have to take the
first step…

What to do?
If you receive insulting
messages, comments or
emails:
• keep calm
• do not write anything
rude back
• show an adult the
message
• If possible, block or
report the person.

•Stand up for yourself
•Get help
•Tell someone you know
•Ignore them, a reaction is what they want
•Report the bullying
•Block the bullies from your account
•Keep a record of the bully`s messages,
phone calls etc.
•Don`t give away personal information
online
•Get the police involved
Why do I
always get
bullied?
What can you do for yourself?

TALK ABOUT IT
WITH A SIBLING!
Sisssster
sss

„NUMMER GEGEN KUMMER“
If you‘re ashamed and you
can‘t or won‘t talk to your
parents or teacher; look for a
number where you can talk
anonymously with a person
who can help you. For
example: 0800 1110333

Talk to the person
Make sure the person is safe
Get help for the person
Give the victim the feeling that somebody cares
Try to find out who is cyberbullying the person
Block the bullies/website
Don‘t be a bully or bystander
If it gets bad tell the police about the victim
Stand up, don‘t stand by!

Don‘t be a bully Come on! How would you feel if
someone would be cyberbullying you? Even just
thinking about how the other person feels can put a
big damper on agression. It is needed in this world!
Be a friend not a bystander Watching or
forwarding means that the bully has more power
and it hurts the victim even more. If you can, tell the
bully to stop or let them know that harassment is
mean and looks stupid. The bully has to know that
his/her behavior is unacceptable. If you can‘t stop
them then help the victim and report the behavior.
Think about it
