Cyberbullying implies the use of communication and information technologies in supporting deliberate, hostile, and repeated behaviour of an individual or a group, with an intention to harm others.

Here are some tips to stop cyberbullying.

Do not respond if somebody bullies you. Keep in mind that your response is typically exactly what the bully wants.

Do not retaliate to the bully. If you take revenge, it turns you into another bully and strengthens the bully's behaviour. Try to avoid a repeated pattern of aggression.

Save evidences. Harassing messages of digital bullying can typically be captured, saved, and presented to somebody who can help. You have to do this even with minor stuffs, because in many instances things tend to escalate.

Speak up to a trustworthy adult. You deserve some backup.

Block the bullies. If harassments come in form of texts, instant messages, or profile comments, use privacy tools or preferences to block these people. If it's through chat, get out of the "room."

Be polite. Even if you do not like somebody, it's still a good idea to be civilised and not go down to another person's level. Treat others the way you like to be treated.

Do not be a bully. How would you feel if somebody harassed you?

Be a friend, not a passer-by. If you can, tell the bullies to stop or allow them to know that harassment makes a person look mean and stupid. In case you can't stop the bullies, then try helping the victims and report the abusive behaviour.
