Ways to Avoid Sexting
- Use humor: “Ha Ha! Real funny!”
- Stress your discomfort: “I’m way too uncomfortable doing that.”
- Emphasize feelings: “If you really cared for me, you wouldn’t ask me to do that.”
- Change the subject: “Um, let’s do something else, okay?”

Ricardo's Story
How Targets and Upstanders Can De-escalate Online Cruelty
TARGETS
- Ignore and block the bully. Offenders often want attention. Take it away and they may give up.
- Save the evidence. You may need it later for documentation.
- Change your privacy settings. Allow only people you trust to see or comment on your pages.
- Tell trusted friends and adults. Create a support network.
UPSTANDERS
- Stand up to the offender when appropriate. If you see something negative, say something. Make it clear that you think online cruelty is wrong, and tell the offender to back off. (It may be easier to do this if you have good standing with the offender.)
- Point out the bully’s motivation to the target. Comfort the target by explaining that many offenders act cruelly just to gain control, power, or status.
- Help the target advocate. Help the target find friends and school leaders who can help de-escalate the situation. It’s easier to stand up to cruelty when you are not alone.
