Bullying alerts

Spot warning signs early and know what to do.

⏱ Takes about 5 minutes

Why bother?

Most cyber-bullying happens in DMs and group chats. Knowing the signs and the steps matters more than any app setting.

Do this, in order

  1. 1

    Watch for changes

    Suddenly quiet, hiding screen, sleeping poorly, dropping friends.
  2. 2

    Open the conversation

    Ask without judging: "Is anything happening online?"
  3. 3

    Screenshot before deleting

    Save evidence — names, dates, messages.
  4. 4

    Block and report on every platform

    Each app has Report → Bullying or Harassment.
  5. 5

    Tell the school

    Most schools must respond to written complaints.
  6. 6

    Step away when needed

    Logging off the app for a week is sometimes the cure.

You did it. 🎉

Tell your kid you set this up, and why. It works way better when it's not a secret.
