Anti-Cyberbullying Resources
by Kayte Heslet, MS, MFTI
Too many teens experience online bullying. Remember: if you feel like you're in danger, or if you're feeling really down, talk to a trusted adult (a parent, a teacher, a counselor). And if you feel like an online situation is too much for you to handle it's a great idea to ask for help. Here are some websites that provide information and help for teens dealing with bullying online and off.
To find out more about what you can do to take a stand against relational aggression, on and offline, check out the rest of the Just For Girls section of our site for teen girls!
