Digital Violence
Learn what it is, how to spot it, and how to stay safe — because everyone deserves a safe internet!
What is digital violence?
Digital violence (cyberbullying) is any kind of abuse, bullying, or harm that happens through the internet and digital devices.
Unlike bullying at school, digital violence doesn't stop when you go home — it can happen 24 hours a day. Any message, image, or comment that is meant to hurt someone — is digital violence.
Types of digital violence
Insults and mean words
Sending hurtful, cruel, or rude messages.
Fake profiles
Making a fake account using someone else's name to embarrass them.
Harassment
Sending annoying messages or threats over and over.
Leaving people out
Kicking someone out of group chats or games on purpose.
Sharing private stuff
Posting private photos without asking first.
Doxxing
Sharing someone's personal info publicly without their okay.
How to react if you're a victim?
📵 Don't reply to messages
Don't fight back with insults. Bullies want to see you upset.
📷 Take screenshots
Save all proof — messages, comments, pictures.
🚫 Block the bully
Use the block button and report the account to the app.
🗣️ Talk to adults
Tell a parent, teacher, or school counselor.
🆘 Call for help
If threats are serious, tell the police or call a helpline.
10 rules for being fair online
Treat others how you want to be treated
Before sending a message, ask yourself: how would you feel?
Don't send insults online either
What you wouldn't say to someone's face, don't write in a message.
Don't make fake profiles
Pretending to be someone else to trick people is wrong.
Don't bully even as a joke
What seems funny to you can hurt someone else.
Include, don't leave out
Everyone deserves to be part of the group.
Don't share private photos without asking
Never post someone else's photos without their okay.
Report violence when you see it
A bystander isn't innocent — speak up or tell adults.
Protect personal info
Don't post your or others' address, phone number, or school.
Wait before you send
If you're angry, wait a few minutes before sending a message.
Be a good example
Show that you're someone who spreads kindness online.
