Take screen shots of everything that is written – this is your evidence. Tell someone – a friend, someone in your family or an adult at school. Do NOT retaliate – don’t become as bad as them – they don’t deserve it. Contact Childline and report it on CEOP

Remember If you wouldn’t say mean comments to someone’s face, why say it online? If you keep quiet whilst reading malicious comments, you are just as bad. We do not tolerate bullying of ANY kind in Our Lady and St Anne’s. We will report you to your parents and potentially the police. Any bullying will be kept on your school records and passed to your high school.
