BLOCK IT

Block people who send nasty messages and don’t open unknown links and attachments.

Always delete emails from people you don’t know, and don’t open attachments from people you don’t know. They might be nasty or have a virus that can stop your computer working.

If someone you know is being nasty to you or someone online, speak to a parent or a trusted adult about it,

If someone is unkind or sends

nasty messages online, block

them.
