YOUR REACTION IS USUALLY WHAT THE BULLY WANTS.

AVOID A WHOLE CYCLE OF AGGRESSION.

IN CASE THINGS ESCALATE.

USE PREFERENCES OR PRIVACY TOOLS TO BLOCK THE PERSON.

YOU DESERVE BACKUP.

USE THE SERVICE'S REPORTING OR "ABUSE" TOOLS.

YOU'RE DOING YOURSELF A FAVOR.

WALK A MILE IN THEIR SHOES BEFORE YOU REACT.

TELL BULLIES TO STOP, OR LET THEM KNOW IT'S NOT COOL.
