Under comments, write about any experiences you've had and tips that would help other Mandela-kids stay safe on the internet.

Or make up a similar story, with different characters, to be read in a dramatic way to emphasize one of these important safety issues.

Kids can stay safe on the internet by not talking to people that they dont know. They can also keep personal information to themselves

If you see a add that has your favourite thing that you wanted an it say you got it for free ,just ignor it.For example you are playing a game and you see a add that says "YOU HAVE WON CLICK HERE TO GET A FREE LAPTOP!!!" ignor it or close it if you could.

I learned that you are not suppose to give out any personal infomation or it can be fatal.one time a girl was on chat for kids and she aranged to meet with him.He latersaid he was coming to Canada, He asked if she can pick him up.She said okay.Later she told her freind about him.She though he was a bit shady,so she told her mother.She told police to go undercover.In the end ,he was a 53 year old man!So never give out personal information.

I thought both of the shows were really sad because that boys sister got bullied so bad and that girls freind gave some girls her password and they embarresd her so badly.I think to not be cyberbullied is to not give anyone your passwords for any account and to not cyber bully people if you have been cyber bullied.

I think we can stop cyber bullying
by not bulling,black mail,or hurt people's feeling.If your one of the cyber bullys you would be in a lot of trouble if you don't stop!
If you the victim of cyber bullying
you should tell a teacher or parent and they'll make sure you won't ever be bullied again(o_o)

If you are getting cyber bullied then u should tell a parent, a teacher, or an aldult and hopefuly they will do something to help you.

If you had told your friends about or there were other people that know about it.Then if they know who actually started it then they should tell a teacher.And tell that person that who is getting their feelings hurt,tell them not to worry and just make them feel better.

i think cyber safety is very important
cyber bullying is just idiotic for one thing people make fun of other people online with maybe their name... people only do this just to get a laugh out of it and guess what it is not funny. the bully just doesn't know when to quit. the bully doesn't even have the guts to talk to the person they are bullying. it's IDIOTIC
