5. Myth or Fact?
I’m bullied at school, so I should stay offline to avoid being attacked online.
MYTH: While staying offline completely could protect you from online bullying, it’s not necessarily a healthy solution to the problem. You should be able to enjoy online socializing like everyone else.

6. Myth or Fact?
I’ll never get caught bullying someone online. The internet is so big, they’ll never find me.
MYTH: While it is possible to be anonymous online, it is very easy to determine where messages originate on the Web, right down to the geographical position of a cell phone. Modern computer and Web forensics can retrieve very detailed information about the origin of online messages. Therefore, there really is no such thing as anonymous.

7. Myth or Fact?
Online bullying is not as harmful as other types of bullying
MYTH : Online bullying is just as, is not more, harmful than other types of bullying. Unlike face-to-face harassment, messages sent over the web can stay in cyberspace forever and haunt the victim for years. Cyber bullying has even been linked to teen suicide…. It’s VERY harmful.

8. How can I support? Know that you’re lucky if your child asks for help
Work with your child
Respond thoughtfully, not fast
More than one perspective needed
What victims say helps most is to be heard
Solutions are more important than punishment
The ultimate goal is restored self-respect
One positive outcome we don’t think about (or hear in the news) enough is resilience
