beatbullying offers excellent support and I want young people to know that there is always someone they can go to for help.

The Carphone Warehouse offers the following tips to those affected by mobile bullying: talk about it to someone you trust; consider calling the Police as its illegal to send abusive texts; save all texts; dont answer an unrecognised number; never reply to an abusive text; if youre a victim call your phone company who can change your number.
