Restrictions, Prevention, and What to do The ONLY Restriction On Social Media Is Age From a Child’s Stand Point: Save the evidence Report threats and harmful messages Prevent the bully from having communication with you Don’t blame yourself! Talk to an adult you trust or someone of authority (police, principal) From a Parents Stand Point: Parents should be aware of what their child is accessing and doing online (websites they visit) Parents if they feel is needed should be reviewing their child's social media accounts if they think it’s needed Parent’s should have their children’s passwords for emergency purposes only and if they suspect any need to access your accounts

Our Opinion Our Opinion on who a cyber bully is and what cyber bullying is: A punch in the face through an electronic device Someone trying to rebel against others because of what they have personally been through Someone who is scared of saying something to someone’s face but not through a device Someone who is trying to feel powerful Someone who tries to fit in, and follows others We believe Cyber Bullying needs to come to an end because teenagers and youth should not have to deal with bullying and hatred. Teenagers need to find other ways of expressing themselves without hurting others as well as themselves, and in a way that no one deals with a consequence
