What can you do ?
If you want to protect yourself form cyberbullying this is what you can do:
1. Make your social network accounts private and recheck privacy settings continuously because as polices change
2. Once the account is private only accept friend requests from people you know. Delete your ex- partners, ex- friends and people you feel afraid off.
3. Do not put on your phone number and address online
4. When you are putting your pictures on the internet, ask yourself this: "Would I put the same photo online when I am 35 ?"
5. Use different passwords to all of your accounts .
6. Be careful of your words which you are putting at the internet.
7. Google your own name, to make sure no unauthorized info has been posted

What not to do ?
- Sink to the bully’s level. Starting your own cyberbullying campaign against the bully will get you nowhere, especially if you end up breaking state laws or school rules.
- Forward bullying content or messages. If someone sends you a bullying message, forwarding it to a friend only expands the problem. You never know how far an email chain can go.
- Believe the bully. Don’t let bullies destroy your self-esteem. No one deserves to be harassed. Cyberbullies’ cowardly and destructive actions are often more about their own problems than they are about you. When bullying gets you down, talk about it with someone you trust who can build you back up.
