How can you protect yourself from cyberbullying?

Here are some tips that may help protect you from cyberbullying:

• Don’t give out personal information online, whether in instant message profiles, chat rooms, blogs, or on Web sites.
• Don’t tell anyone your e-mail or instant messaging passwords, even your friends.
• If someone sends a mean or threatening message, don’t respond. Save it and show it to a trusted adult.
• If someone is sending mean messages to you through IM or texts, just log off or shut off your phone. You can also ‘block’ certain people from sending you messages on some Web sites. You can’t be bullied if the bully can’t access you!
