If you're a parent or an older sibling to a young kid, start the conversation early about online safety. Be transparent with kids about what it means to mature. If they don't learn about it from the right sources, they'll learn it from the wrong places.
Don’t ignore suspicious numbers or accounts—report dia! File a complaint with MCMC, or report directly on social media apps or in-game.
We know that you’re quick on your fingers, and evidence is key! If you or someone else is getting cyberbullied, take screenshots to back up your reports. If you don’t feel comfortable doing this, you can ask someone you trust to help you or keep these screenshots in a separate folder.
Submit a report to the social media platform. Platforms need your help to moderate content. If the cyberbullies are coordinated and persistent, make a report to the MCMC and your nearest police station.
Ignore the cyberbullies and support victims in their comment section. Be a shoulder to lean on instead of an instigator.
Share about what happened with people you trust. Remember, none of this was your fault and you don’t have to feel ashamed. There are also mental health support hotlines that can be a listening ear!
