If the first adult you tell about cyberbullying doesn’t take you seriously, you have several options to consider:
-
Talk to Another Trusted Adult: Find another adult you trust, such as a parent, teacher, school counselor, or another family member, and share your experience with them.
-
Document the Evidence: Keep a record of the incidents, including screenshots, messages, or any other evidence of the cyberbullying. This can help you when you speak to another adult or authority figure.
-
Reach Out to Friends for Support: Speak to friends who can provide emotional support and may even stand with you if you decide to take further action.
-
Report the Behavior: If the cyberbullying is happening on a specific platform (like social media), report the behavior to the platform for violating their policies.
-
Seek Professional Help: If the situation is severely affecting your mental health or well-being, consider speaking to a counselor or therapist who specializes in dealing with bullying or cyberbullying issues.
In any case, it’s important to keep seeking help until someone takes your situation seriously and provides the support you need.
