Do you have friends who have been bullied? What about cyberbullying-bullying that happens online? How did bullying make your friends feel, and did they ask for help? Sadly, most of the times your friends will not ask for help when they have been cyberbullied. They may feel that no one can help, and so, they keep it to themselves. Not asking for help can be a big problem and cause a lot of worry and stress. Researchers know that feeling like they are connected to their friends can make young people feel happier. So, if a person is cyberbullied, then talking to friends and family can go a long way toward helping that person feel better. It can even help the bullying victim's mental health and can change the way that person copes with the worry and stress caused cyberbullying. This article talks about why being connected with friends and family is important for anyone being cyberbullied, and why parents, teachers, and schools should encourage kids to talk to them about cyberbullying.
