Recognize repeated targeting and know the next move.

Two sides, roughly equal

Both people can push back. It's about an issue, not about making someone feel small.

Everyone is in on it

It stops being teasing when the person stops laughing, asks you to stop, or it happens in front of an audience they didn't choose.

Unwanted, repeated, and a power gap

More people, more followers, or embarrassing information on one side. Online, one post that keeps getting shared can work like a hundred repeats.

Targeting that won't stop, or attacks who someone is

It gets around blocks, follows someone across accounts, or targets race, religion, gender, sexuality, disability, or body.

Talk of harm to someone's safety

Messages about hurting someone, showing up somewhere, or making them "regret" something.

Try this. Tell a trusted adult today. If someone is in immediate danger, call 911.

Save. Block. Report. Tell.

Screenshot with the account name and date, use platform controls, report, and involve a trusted adult when safety or repeated targeting is involved.

Try this. One exception: never save or forward a sexual image of anyone under 18, even a fake one. Write down what, where, who, and when, and tell an adult.
