Some reactions hurt more than you think

Before you react, ask yourself:

  • Am I letting things go because I'm worried about making things worse for the person being targeted? Some things we do when we witness cyberbullying – even when we're trying to help – can make things worse, so it’s always a good idea to step back and think about the situation before jumping in. 
  • Am I letting things go because I don't like the target? It can be hard to feel bad for someone we don't like.
