• CyberMentors: Help if you are being bullied
  CyberMentors is all about young people helping and supporting each other online.
  
  If you are being bullied, or are feeling a bit low, or are maybe troubled by something and you're not sure what to do or who to talk to, then CyberMentors is where you can go for help. It doesn't matter how big or small you think the problem is, or whether you're being targeted online or offline, CyberMentors are available to listen and support you. If you want to talk about a problem you've got with bullying, just drop a CyberMentor a message, or ask to chat to them online. The site is secure, and you can keep all your chats private, but there are also counsellors available for anything really serious.
  
  If your school has been involved in the CyberMentors training, then there will also be CyberMentors available to talk to you face-to-face if you'd prefer.
