Cyber bullies harass other people through instant messaging, e-mail, and any other electronic means.
Dealing with cyberbullying is rarely easy, but there are steps you can take to cope with the problem.
To start, it may be a good time to reassess your technology use.
Spending less time on social media or checking texts and emails, and more time interacting with real people, can help you distance yourself from online bullies. It can also help to reduce anxiety, depression, and feelings of loneliness.

Don’t beat yourself up

Don’t make a bullying incident worse by dwelling on it or reading cyberbullying messages over and over.

Instead, focus on the positive experiences in your life. There are many wonderful things about you so be proud of who you are.

Don’t seek revenge

Don’t seek revenge on a cyberbully by becoming a cyberbully yourself. Again, it will only make the problem worse and could result in serious legal consequences for you. If you wouldn’t say it in person, don’t say it online.

Save the evidence of the cyberbullying

Save the evidence of the cyberbullying, keep abusive text messages or a screenshot of a webpage, for example, and then report them to a trusted adult.

If you don’t report incidents, the cyberbully will often become more aggressive.

Report threats of harm

Report threats of harm and inappropriate sexual messages to the police. In many cases, the cyberbully’s actions can be prosecuted by law.

Prevent communication from the cyberbully

Prevent communication from the cyberbully, by blocking their email address, cell phone number, and deleting them from social media contacts.

Report their activities to their Internet service provider (ISP) or to any social media or other websites they use to target you.

The cyberbully’s actions may constitute a violation of the website’s terms of service or, depending on the laws in your area, may even warrant criminal charges.

Share your feelings about bullying

Talk to a parent, counselor, coach, religious leader, or trusted friend.

Expressing what you’re going through can make a huge difference in the way you feel, even if it doesn’t change the situation.

Learn to manage stress

Finding healthy ways to relieve the stress generated by cyberbullying can make you more resilient so you won’t feel overwhelmed by negative experiences. Exercise, meditation, positive self-talk, muscle relaxation, and breathing exercises are all good ways to cope with the stress of cyberbullying.

Spending time with people and activities that bring you pleasure also helps.
