    Example: Vedant loved drawing and often shared his art on his class group.
                           One day, a few children began sending mean comments like “Your drawing

                           looks bad” and added laughing emojis. Vedant felt sad and did not want to post
                           anymore.

                                                                                                   21 st

                      Dealing with Cyberbullying

                      It is important to keep in mind that dealing with any type of
                      cyberbullying is about finding a solution that works for you.

                      Some solutions you can take:
                          Don’t respond: Avoid  replying  to  mean  or hurtful

                           messages,  as the bully often wants a reaction  and
                           responding can make things worse.

                                              Log off: Take a break from your computer, phone or device to

                                           calm down and clear your mind.

                          Block  the person: Stop  them  from contacting  you  by

                           blocking their number, unfriending them and adjusting your
                           privacy settings.

                                                          Save evidence: Take screenshots or print out messages,

                                                        posts and other evidence to show parents or teachers.
