Cyberbullying Q & A

"Q. I'm worried about cyberfullying. How can I protect my middle grader from this new kind of bullying?

A. Cyberbullying occurs when someone sends hurtful messages online or by cell phone. It can take many forms, such as writing rude comments, spreading rumors, and posting embarrassing pictures.
Your child can discourage cyberbullying by giving personal information (name, e-mail address, cell phone number) only to friends. If she receives nasty e-mails or text messages, she should not respond. Explain that replying jsut gives the person the satisfaction of having upset her. A good thing to do is simply to log off the computer or turn off the cell phone.
Let your youngster know she should tell an adult if she experiences cyberbullying. You can report problems to your Internet provider, school authorities, or even the police."
