Learning Beforehand
A friend recently told me her son was being mocked by classmates through an online game chat. He started avoiding the game completely, even though playing had always been his favorite way to relax. Hearing that made me realize I should know what to do before my own kids face something similar. What resources would you recommend for preventing cyberbullying and keeping kids safer online?

My nephew faced something similar in a Minecraft server and suddenly quit playing altogether. We first listened without blaming him, saved the chat, blocked the accounts, reported them to the platform, and contacted the server moderators and school. We now practise simple rules: don’t reply to abuse, protect usernames and location details, and tell an adult early. Internet Matters and StopBullying offer clear guidance.
