Understanding the Cyberbully
In order to work against cyberbullying, you need to understand why students engage in online bullying. There are no easy answers and there is no single answer for every student, but there are some common traits among cyberbullies.
If You are a Victim or Parent of One
There are steps you can take if you are a victim of cyberbullying. Perhaps more importantly there are steps you should not take because they may cause the bullying to escalate.
SHARE YOUR STORY
If you've been cyberbullied (or are a reformed bully), share your experience so that others will understand the harsh impact of cyberbullying and other victims will know that they are not alone. It's especially helpful if you can explain how you recovered from being a victim.

DON'T BELIEVE IN CYBERBULLYING?
You're not alone. There are many teens and adults (including lawmakers) who discount the severity and impact of cyberbullying. Cyberbullying is not the same as calling someone a name in the school yard. It is orders of magnitude easier and more vicious when the bully is protected by the anonymity of the Internet than when he or she has to face a victim in the real world. The effects on the victim are also magnified because more peers can see the bullying, and it's difficult if not impossible to erase its record.
