If you see it happening to someone online avoid retaliating and avoid name calling in response, this can escalate the situation. Instead if it is safe #speakout against the negative behaviour #thatsnotcool. #teartalk

@VSToronto A3: We live in a technology driven world today; #cyberviolence is very common and relevant now. It is such a big issue, because when it's online violence, everything becomes more complicated. It also makes it easier for one to be bully and target. #TEARtalk 1/2

[Victim Services @VSToronto]

A3: It’s also very important to stop #Cyberbullying as people who are cyberbullied feel an intense sense of isolation, fear, loneliness and despair. Their desperation can sometimes lead to acts of self-harm or tragically, even suicide #TEARtalk #PinkShirtDay
