Highlights
The internet connects us but can also be used to spread negativity through cyberbullying. This can involve sending mean messages, spreading rumors, or sharing private information, causing emotional harm and damaging reputations.
To prevent cyberbullying and make the internet safer, follow these guidelines: live by the golden rule, avoid negative messages, and respect differences in opinion, experience, and culture.
Always pause and consider the consequences before posting online. Think about whether your message could hurt someone or damage your own or others' reputations and safety.
If you feel unsafe online, remove yourself from the situation and report it to a trusted person. If you witness cruel or dangerous activity, offer support and report the incident, contributing to a safe and friendly online environment.
