- I'm playing a computer game. Multiplayer. Well, there are wizards, dragons. You need to collect treasures, help the clan...
- And what?
- In fact, such a game is much more than just entertainment. It is a communication platform where we can meet new friends. No one is particularly shy, because under the mask of an elf or a troll there could be your girlfriend or a boy from the neighboring class.
— Remember! As trite as it may sound, try to remember that everything a bully writes to you is just words on a screen. And no matter who starts the fight, anyone who participates in it can be banned for swearing.
Don't panic if you're threatened with being bahamas whatsapp data for a lost game. As long as you haven't broken any game rules, no one will ban you. In games with winners and losers, there are... winners and losers. Breathe in, breathe out, and remember that the rules are the same for everyone.
Don't withdraw into yourself. If you're having a hard time, remember, we can always discuss everything! Mishka and I often go for walks in the evenings and are always ready to talk!
And besides, don't be shy about complaining. All games have a mechanism for complaining about users who behave inappropriately towards others. And moderators are obliged to consider complaints. There is a way to deal with everyone! Even if the bully is not banned immediately, the complaint will ruin his karma. Then, if someone else complains about him, the bully will be given special attention. If someone receives constant complaints, he may not be banned, but his gaming circles will be limited - and he will have to play with others like him.
And one last piece of advice! Keep your personal information to yourself! Never give out your real name, photo, or social media page links, as this information can help you be found and stalked on other platforms or even offline.
In short, be careful! And don't be afraid. And we will help you.
Wipe your tears, or Mishka will lick them! Come on, we'll see you out. It's getting dark already! It's time to go home. Or your parents will worry.
- I understand. It's true that you can meet both loyal friends and evil hooligans there. Anyone can face bullying in the game. Right?
- Yes. I didn't do anything to them, but they...
- What? Are they making fun of me?
— Yes! I was bombarded with insults and threats because I'm still getting used to the game. Or simply because people on the other side of the chat like to pick on others. That's how they ruined my mood.
- Don't get excited, Lenochka!
