Cyberbullying. Trolling. Outing. Cancelling. Doxxing.
Technology has made bullying a lot more complicated!
At Kids Helpline, we know that young people may not experience cyberbullying in isolation. Often, young people are bullied and cyberbullied simultaneously. We also know that young people can be both victims and perpetrators of bullying. We have gathered together some resources that can help!

How to be an upstander and support a friend who is being bullied and cyberbullied.
Cyberbullying isn't a personal problem, it's a social problem, which means we all have a responsibility to prevent and stop it. Cyberbullying hurts everyone involved – the person being bullied, those who witness the bullying, and even the person doing the bullying. This comic teaches young people how to be an 'upstander' by reporting and supporting. It also showcases help-seeking for those being bullied, as well as those doing the bullying.
