Parents can handle cyber-bullying, can't they?
No.... Because most incidents of cyber-bullying occur out of adult's sight, it's important that you learn to protect yourself online and look to ways of responding to the cyber-bullying of others when you see it. However, it is still important to let a parent or trusted adult know and to report incidents to your internet service provider (ISP), school or place.

What is cyber-bullying?
Cyber-bullying occurs when one or more people deliberately, and repeatedly, intend to hurt another person through communication technologies such as emails, chatrooms, websites, messageboards, instant messaging, mobile phones or pagers.

What can I do if someone is cyber-bullying me?
Don't respond to the bully. Don't answer phone calls, read text messages, email, or comments from cyber-bullies. Resist the urge to see or hear the latest insult. But do save the material in case a law enforcement authority needs it as evidence or to take action.
