Technology is
great, we love it.
It’s great to send texts and emails,
there are loads of great websites
and social networks like Bebo,
MSN and MySpace which allow us

Three things to remember:
Respect other people - online and off. Don’t spread rumours about people or share their secrets, including their phone numbers and passwords. 1 If someone insults you online or by phone, stay calm and ignore them. 2 ‘Do as you would be done by.’ Think how you would feel if you were bullied. You’re responsible for your own behaviour: make sure you don’t distress other people or cause them to be bullied by someone else. 3 Three things to remember when you're
online or on the phone:

Don't give out any personal details online; you should use a nickname in chatrooms.

If someone starts acting weird or making you feel uncomfortable, get out of the chatroom straight away and tell someone.

And finally...:
Tell someone
- A friend
- A parent
- A teacher
Let’s fight cyberbullying together! And finally…
