a question on what to do when cyberbullied
My response:
- If a minor, the 1st thing to do is tell an adult in authority. This could be your parents, teacher or guidance counselor
- Report the account broadcasting the hostile messages to the concerned service provider,
- for Facebook, go here: http://www.facebook.com/help/359033794168099/
- for Twitter, go here: https://support.twitter.com/groups/33-report-a-violation/topics/122-reporting-violations/articles/15789-how-to-report-violations
- Block the concerned hostile account from accessing your social networking account(s).
- If applicable, change your email address and CP # or sim card and gradually share it to the people you trust.
- File a complaint to police authorities. If you are from the Philippines, you can file an online complaint at PNP CIDG- AngelNet, go here: http://cidgangelnet.ph/main/?page_id=121
- If necessary, have a vacation from your online activities
- Seek professional help if needed to recover from the trauma.
- Move on
