A practical guide for young people on cyberbullying

Are you receiving hurtful messages, insults or threats online? Are rumours circulating about you, are photos being shared without your consent, or are you experiencing a situation that makes you feel uncomfortable on social media, in a chat group or in a video game?

This guide is for you. It helps you understand what cyberbullying is, recognise situations that should set off alarm bells, and know how to react if you are a victim, a witness, or if you realise that your words or actions online may have hurt someone.

Asking for help isn’t about reporting someone; it’s about protecting yourself. Even behind a screen, you are not alone, and there are ways to take action and put an end to this violence.

Let us work together to combat online harassment and violence!
