Hey! Someone being
mean to you online?
It happens to lots of kids, and it's never your fault. Here are 5 simple steps to help you feel safe.
Stop! Don't reply
If someone is being mean, just close the app. Take a deep breath. You don't have to answer them. It's not your fault.
Save the proof
Ask a grown-up to help you take a screenshot. Keep the messages somewhere safe. This helps if you need to show someone later.
Block them
Use the block button. You don't have to talk to people who are mean. Blocking keeps them away from you.
Tell someone you trust
Tell mom, dad, your teacher, or another grown-up you feel safe with. You are not bothering them. They want to help you.
You're not alone
This is not your fault. You deserve to feel safe and happy. It's brave to ask for help. We are all here for you.
Remember:
You are awesome. You are brave. And you never have to handle this alone.
