www.cpanb-apcnb.ca Crime Prevention Association of NB Inc 21 HOW YOU CAN HELP STOP CYBERBULLYING Make sure you and your friends are using proper netiquette when using the Internet. This means being kind, courteous, honest and polite when online. Don’t forward hurtful email to your friends. Don’t allow your friends to take cell phone photos or videos of the personal moments of others. Don’t visit sites that are defamatory and put down other students. Speak out against cyberbullying, particularly if you are in a chat room. Don’t buy into the vicious rumours that are spread online to destroy a student’s reputation. Stand up for that student online and in person. Report cyberbullying to a trusted adult such as a teacher, someone in administration or your parents. If you know someone is being threatened online, call the police. Call the providers of Internet and cell phone services and report cyberbullying. Don’t do or say anything online that you would not say in person. Protect your password and make sure you know who someone is before you add them to your friend list. Remember what you post online stays online forever. Create open forums in your school to raise awareness of the issue of cyberbullying. continued...
