How do you cope with cyber bullying when no one will listen?

The aim of a lot of cyberbullying is to annoy, upset or confuse the person who is being targeted, so that they react emotionally. Be careful not to retaliate – as it drives them to continue to bully you. Do not respond to the cyberbully except to calmly tell them to stop. Screenshots are the best way for you to report an instance of cyberbullying. After all, the person who’s cyberbullying you may delete their comment or photo when they realise that it might get them in trouble. Screenshots will ensure you always have a copy of what was said and with proof, people are more likely to believe you. You can always limit your social media time to a few hours a day, or whatever feels right for you. That way, the bullying doesn’t feel constant, and you can take a break from the online world to look after yourself.

Cyber bullying is definitely something that really hurts and can be very hard to deal with. It can also be harder when we are not listened to. There are perhaps some ways that you could go about this, maybe by taking screenshots/photo evidence of the bullying. Another idea could be to block the bullies/people involved, as this would then prevent them from sending you anything directly. In regards to perhaps talking about it, we at 7 Cups would be happy to offer a listening ear, though we cannot provide any direct advice. If you're looking for more in real life support to get the person(s) to stop, maybe reaching out to a trusted adult/someone you trust could be of some help.
