Who are Cyberbullies? Cyberbullies are people who bully

others online or using the phone. Bullying is when people are mean, hurtful,

or aggressive to each other. Bullying is when people use their power

(strength, information, or popularity) to hurt others.

Bullying happens over and over, or makes you afraid that it will happen again.

Who are Creepers? Creepers are people who try to find

information online that you don’t want them to have.

Since cyberbullies can use information to bully people, sometimes they use creeper tactics to find out information about you.

You can make it harder forcreepers to find your information.

Tip 1: Set up your Privacy Settings Most websites have privacy settings you

can customize to keep creepers out. If you haven’t looked at your privacy

settings, creepers might be able to see what you’ve posted online.

Go to your service’s help page to find how to set your privacy settings. Click here to learn about Facebook’s privacy

settings. Click here to learn about Twitter’s privacy

settings.

Tip 2: Use Different Screen Names Many web services ask you to make a

screen name to identify yourself. If you use the same screen name for

every website, someone can find all about you just by googling your screen name.

Using a different screen name for each of your social networks can make it harder for creepers to find your other profiles.

Tip 3: Change your profile picture. Many people use a picture of themselves as

their public profile picture. Google image search allows people to

search for images the same way they search for text. If you use the same profile picture for each

profile, searching for that image can lead someone to all of your profiles!

Use a different picture for each account, or change your public picture to a funny picture.

Tip 4: Disable GPS for your phone’s camera. Many smartphones take data about where

and when a picture was taken. Creepers can get this information from

pictures you post online to find out where you hang out.

Disable your phone’s GPS for your camera app to keep the phone from logging this data.

Set up your Privacy Settings to keep creepers from seeing your pictures.

Tip 5: Watch what you post! I know you probably hear this a lot, but

be careful what you post online. Once something is on the internet, it

can be really hard to keep creepers from getting a hold of it.

The best tactic is to make sure you’re not posting anything you don’t want creepers to see.

Review: Set up your privacy settings. Use different screen names. Change your profile picture. Disable GPS for your phone’s camera. Watch what you post.

I’m sad that I can’t

creep anymore.
