A short topic moment

Mean moments, conflict or bullying?

Take a minute or two, then stop when you're ready.

Switch, pause, or stop whenever you need.

Notice

A mean moment, a disagreement, and bullying are not always the same. Someone can say or do something hurtful once; a conflict can be a problem where people disagree; and bullying is usually repeated behaviour meant to hurt, frighten, exclude, or control someone.

Bullying can involve a power imbalance or a group pile-on. It can happen in person, in a group chat, or on social media — for example, repeated name-calling at school, people using a chat to freeze someone out, or posts and comments meant to humiliate someone.

You do not have to prove every part of a definition before asking for help. If it feels unsafe, repeated, threatening, humiliating, isolating, or hard to stop, tell a trusted adult.

If there is immediate danger or a threat, seek urgent local help and tell a trusted adult now. This site is not monitored 24/7.

Bullying safety practice

When a cruel Snap is shared around

Practise a calm safety plan for repeated humiliation, threats, or group pile-ons. You do not have to prove it is ‘bad enough’ before asking for help.

Private practice only. This is a fictional simulation — no messages are sent, posted, uploaded, collected, monitored, shared, or scored. Your draft stays in this browser session on this device.

You do not have to handle this alone

Stop engaging, save the messages if it is safe, use the platform’s normal report or block tools, and show a trusted adult. If there is an immediate threat or danger, get urgent local help now. This site is not monitored 24/7.
