It's worth having a look

Cyberbullying, harassment, cyberstalking, and doxxing are all forms of social and emotional abuse that can happen online. These can leave lasting emotional scars and deeply affect the mental wellbeing of anyone, regardless of background or age.

According to Ofcom:
👉 20% of girls and 14% of boys had received nasty or hurtful interactions through text or messaging apps
👉 18% of girls and 13% of boys received the same through social media
(https://orlo.uk/yabbS)

To ensure you can stay safe online, there are a few tips you can follow:
✅ Use privacy settings on social media to avoid your information getting into the wrong hands
✅ Keep your personal information private (such as your real name, school/place of employment, or address). Use fake names where possible
✅ Block and report abusive users or anyone who has made you feel unsafe
✅ Be weary of friend requests and only accept them from people you know and trust in real life. People can often pose as others online
✅ If you are a young person, consider tell a reliable adult or someone you trust about the situation
