TALK to your children about BULLYING! Ensure that they know what is considered to be unacceptable behaviour and that they are aware of a few simple guidelines.

DO NOT respond to messages that are mean or they do not understand.
Encourage them to tell you about any online bullying or anything uncomfortable that they experience.
Parents have a hard time accepting that their child may be a bully. Ensure your child understands that something they think is funny, may be devastating to another. Their actions may have terrible consequences to someone else.
