Despite the best of intentions, we can’t be friends with everyone. This is even more apparent on the internet where some people like to troll or in some cases bully others for no other reason other than because they can.

Online or cyber bullying can be even more harmful than the more common face to face version because:

 

- It’s incredibly difficult to control anything posted electronically.

- There is a greater chance it could get viral.

 

As always, the best course of action should you or anyone you know be the victim is to bring it to the attention of a grown up you trust. On Stardoll you can also block the person and report them to our ever helpful bunch of support staff. For more on how to tackle bullying, be sure to check out our One-Stop rules as well as our safety channel on YouTube.
