Restrictions, Prevention, and What to do

The ONLY Restriction On Social Media Is Age
From a Parents Stand Point:
Parents should be aware of what
their child is accessing and doing
online (websites they visit)
Parents if they feel is needed
should be reviewing their child's
social media accounts if they think
its needed
Parents should have their
childrens passwords for
emergency purposes only and if
they suspect any need to access
your accounts

From a Childs Stand Point:

Save the evidence
Report threats and harmful
messages
Prevent the bully from having
communication with you
Dont blame yourself!
Talk to an adult you trust or
someone of authority (police,
principal)

Our Opinion
Our Opinion on who a cyber bully is and what cyber
bullying is:
A punch in the face through an electronic device
Someone trying to rebel against others because of
what they have personally been through
Someone who is scared of saying something to
someones face but not through a device
Someone who is trying to feel powerful
Someone who tries to fit in, and follows others
We believe Cyber Bullying needs to come
to an end because teenagers and youth
should not have to deal with bullying and
hatred. Teenagers need to find other ways
of expressing themselves without hurting
others as well as themselves, and in a way
that no one deals with a consequence
