Answer: There are eight possible correct answers below. If an answer is given that is not in the list, all the players may decide through consensus whether they approve the answer.
-
Don't keep the problem to yourself. Tell someone you trust, preferably an adult such as a parent or teacher.
-
Don't take insults too personally. For sure it's not your fault!
-
Never react to bullying e-mails or texts. That often that ends the fun for the bully, quickly. If you are bullied in a chat room, don't get involved but simply switch off your monitor and get an adult to come.
-
You can block or refuse unwanted e-mails or bullying via chat or Facebook.
-
Use a new nickname in a chat box.
-
Create a new e-mail address. You can work with two addresses, one that you use for friends (who promise not to pass it on to anyone else) and the other for a wider circle of acquaintances and for subscribing to sites or chat boxes.
-
If you are bullied in public chat rooms, you can tell the moderator. Then he will probably block that person. The same goes for providers of websites or weblogs.
-
If the bullying continues and in critical situations, you can call in the police. For this you need 'material evidence'. Learn how to capture chat conversation or make screen shots of unwanted chat sessions or photos. If you haven't already done so, inform your parents. They can go to the police with you.
