Protect yourself – never agree to meet with the person or with anyone you meet online. If bullied through chat or instant messaging, the bully can often be blocked. Tell someone! Table of Contents

Things to remember while chatting Avoid using ALL CAPS – It’s considered yelling. Decide What Tone the Conversation Has Before Posting – Don’t use offensive language or nicknames. Always avoid making personal attacks and calling names. Don’t Flood the Chatroom - Flooding is repeating messages over and over, or filling the screen with gibberish, in order to impede communication in the chatroom. Be Nice to Newbies – Remember your firs chats? If someone stumbles into your chat, who is obviously new to this medium, show some patience and help him or her get the hang of it. Table of Contents

Prevention Table of Contents Don’t give out private information such as passwords, pins, name, address, phone number, school name, or family and friends names. Use Netiquette. Be polite online and others will tend to do the same. If someone does get angry or bullies you, ignore them. Online cyber bullies want a reaction just like other bullies. Don’t send a message when you are angry. It is hard to undo things that are said in anger. Delete messages from people you don’t know or from people who seem angry or mean. When something doesn’t seem right, it probably isn’t. Get out of that site, chat, etc.
