Μπορεί ωστόσο να τα εκπαιδεύσει να είναι προσεκτικά με τις απειλές που κρύβονται στα κοινωνικά μέσα, διατηρώντας επιφυλακτική στάση απέναντι σε ανθρώπους που δεν γνωρίζουν και στις πληροφορίες που μοιράζονται, αλλά και στην αλληλεπίδραση με γνωστούς και με συνομηλίκους. Αν το faces bullying behavior, it is good to know that on all social media there is the possibility to report abusive profiles, without fear for his protection, as his anonymity is preserved.
