Avoiding Cyber Bullying
1. Don't give out personal information This includes your name, phone number, address, email address, the name of your school, names of family members, pictures of yourself and so on. Never tell anyone your passwords or personal identification numbers (PINs)

2. Pause and think twice before you send messages Think about how you cant get the message back once youve sent it. Ask yourself these questions: - Could the message make you vulnerable to bullying because it is very person, potentially embarrassing or revealing? - Could the message get you in trouble if an adult saw it? - How might other people feel when they read this message? Realize that anything you send out electronically could potentially be sent to everyone you know and many more people you dont know.

3. Avoid saying anything in an electronic message that you wouldnt say to someones face.

4. Do not forward gossip or hurtful or threatening messages.
