Block, report to an authority if it continues and remember that none of it is your fault. If it persists and no one can help you, ignore it as best you can. Bullies usually only bully to get a reaction.

One of the best things you can do is to report the person who is cyberbullying you - most websites have some sort of function that allows you to report someone. They'll usually ask why you're reporting this person, and if you let them know that it's because of cyberbullying, they can put measures in place to stop the bully, such as closing their account, or blocking them so that they cannot contact you. A lot of websites also allow you to block people yourself, so that would be something else to consider. There is always the option of closing your own account, but a lot of people aren't comfortable with that, so the other two options might be worth considering. And, if you can, try to ignore the bully, though I appreciate how hard it can be to do that.

Your best bet is to ignore them and report their posts or messages about you. You don't have to be a victim, if it gets worse tell a parent or teacher and have them inform the parent or guardian of that person.

I would start by blocking them, if they continue to do this I would report them to school officials or police, depending on how bad it is

You could try blocking /report the person on the social networking site which should stop them being able to talk to you

Cut off all contact with this person--don't respond to them, block them, etc. I know that it is hard to not fight back and let him/her throw insults at you, but don't let your mind linger on it. Friends don't bully each other.

Tell someone, Ask them to stop. If they don't just deactivate your account or block them. I used to read what my cyberbully told me, So that I could change myself and maybe she would like me. But she never did. It was at that moment I realized that I had to get out of that situation. I blocked everyone that were cyberbullying me, ate a cupcake and was finally relaxed.

Block them. Don't allow hurtful comments to reach you.

Tell someone you trust, Mum, Dad, A friend. Someone who can help you and support you. Learn how to block people whether you are in facebook, twitter or email. Speaking to someone you not only trust but who also has a great sense of internet intelligence will make it just that bit easier to stop your harasser from hurting you or finding you in the real world. And if it gets too much, you can always unplug the computer/internet and take a break.

There are many ways to combat cyberbullying; if it's on this site (God forbid), I urge you to report it immediately. If it isn't on this site, analyze any reporting options that may be available. More and more sites are taking action against cyberbullying. If they are messaging you directly, block them ASAP; don't even read their messages. They only want to make you feel bad, why would what they say be worth reading? They only want to bring you down, don't give that to them. I'm glad you realize these people aren't your friends, that's the first step to feeling better about this situation. The best of luck to you
