With the good comes the bad, however: While most youth think social media and other online spaces have more pros than cons, almost 90% of teens have witnessed someone their age being mean to someone else online. Indeed, one in six social media-using teens is at the receiving end of online harassment.
然而，犹如孪生兄弟，坏处也随之而来：大部分青少年认为社交媒体和其他线上空间的优点大于缺点，而同时几乎90%的青少年见证着一些人对线上其他人的刻薄。的确，使用社交媒体的青少年中有有六分之一是接受网络骚扰的终端。
The harasser attempts to contact the victim offline.
骚扰者试图在线下联系受害者。
许多网络骚扰者在现实生活中也知道受害者。对于一个特别的受害者来说，不管这是否是真的，一旦那个骚扰者尝试着通过电话、面对面、或者寄给他或她物品来联系受害者，就有可能增加受害者的焦虑。
The harasser is more “powerful” than the victim.
骚扰人比受害者更“强大”。
力量可以是很多东西，包括有更多的朋友，更受欢迎，身体更强健，或者是拥有某些其他的东西可以使一个人“凌驾”他人之上。许多研究发现，被更强大的人骚扰可能会增加受害人的痛苦。
The harassment happens repeatedly.
骚扰事件重复发生
However, just like other in-person places (think about the mall, parties on the weekend, etc.), a conversation with kids about where they go and who they spend time with online can help you get a better sense of what they are experiencing. Sometimes, just starting the conversation can be really helpful for both of you.
然而，就像亲身经历其他地方一样（想像商场、周末聚会等等），跟孩子来一场谈话，谈谈他们去哪里，在网络上和谁聊天，这样可以帮助你感觉他们正在经历着什么。有时，仅仅是开启谈话就会对你们双方都很有帮助。
Log off, and avoid reading hurtful comments. Do not respond to the person, as this can encourage them to continue their behavior.
退出登录，避免阅读伤害性的评论。不要回复骚扰人，因为这样会鼓励他们继续他们的行为。
Block the person from email, instant messengers, social networking sites, chat rooms, and other online channels.
拦截骚扰人的邮件、短信、社交网站、聊天室和其他网上渠道。
Change your passwords to online accounts. Consider changing your usernames and email address if the harasser or bully keeps trying to contact you through them.
更改你的上网密码。如果骚扰者或欺凌者总是尝试着通过这些来联系你，那么考虑更改你的用户名和邮箱地址。
Contact tech support or the webmaster to delete any fake accounts created to impersonate you.
联系技术支持或者网站管理员删除冒充你的虚假评论。
Talk to someone you trust! This might be a friend, a parent, teacher, or school counselor. Victimization does not need to be faced alone.
What may work for one person may not work for another. What is important is that your child feels not only supported by you, but also empowered to address the situation with a solution that you choose together.
最重要的是，你的孩子感觉不仅有你的支持，还被授予权力去处理这样的情况，解决方法是你们选择一起面对。
