Tips to Stop Cyber-bullies Tell a trusted adult and keep telling them until they take action. Never open, read or respond to messages from cyber-bullies - don’t retaliate! If it is school related, tell someone at your school. Do not erase the messages. They may be needed to take action. If bullied through chat or IM, the bully can often be blocked. If you are threatened with harm, call the police.

Tips to Stop Cyber-bullies... Stop! Block! Tell!
