Someone is being mean to me online

What does cyberbullying look like?

hurtful messages, comments or images
messages, posts or comments that say someone will do something mean
leaving you out or ignoring you online
spreading lies about you online
creating fake online profiles in someone’s name to trick you
sharing something online that can hurt you or make you feel bad, like a picture you don’t want anyone to see
threatening to share something online that will hurt you or make you feel bad
making you feel very sad, very scared or very upset

no one deserves to be hurt online
be kind to yourself — it’s not your fault
