Cyberbullying: talk to Childline
What to do if you are a cyberbullying victim?
The EU Kids Online survey shows that 4% of Ireland’s 9-16 year olds suffer some form cyberbullying.
This is not OK and young people don’t have to suffer in silence.
Help is available: Childline offer support and assistance, both online and over the phone, for victims of cyberbullying.

All young people have a right to be safe and a right to tell if they are being bullied in school or online.
However, it’s not just the direct victims of cyberbullying who can talk to Childline.
If a young person is worried about a friend who is being bullied, or if he or she has witnessed cyber bullying, Childline is there to listen to all and any situations.
If a young person is not ready to tell a parent or a teacher about the bullying he/she is experiencing, Childline is available, in confidence, to help that young person.
It really is true that a problem shared, is a problem halved.
