How do you protect yourself against Cyberbullying?

Answer 1

* Any forum can have cyberbullies that will pick on any victim at random. Never give out your full name; address; email address no matter how nice the person appears when you are texting each other. Don't give out any personal information about yourself. If someone does email you with threats then block their email address and if from then on don't open any emails that you don't recognize. If they keep sending you threats under another email address and trick you simply send that email back unanswered or delete it. Stick to very few forums and don't have multiple ones as the more you are on the bigger the chance you may fall victim to cyberbullying. Ignore the cyberbully should you come across one. By answering them back you are simply throwing gasoline on the fire. Cyberbullies will generally grow bored with their victim if they are ignored and move on to someone else. Cyberbullies should be reported to the forum's moderator (if they have one.) Before joining a forum be sure there is a proper moderating system available (not all forums have one) so that you have more protection (someone to go too on that particular forum) like WikiAnswers for example. Remember ... you don't know who is on the other end when you are having a conversation so keep your private information private! * You can protect yourself from cyberbullying by not participating in any websites that includes hurting people, innocent people. Remember don't give any personal information.

There aren't necessarily any ways you can "prevent" cyber bullying, but you can stop it when it happens.
