How would you deal with an internet troll?
The way I would deal with an interenet troll is by keeping a sense of humor. Of course, the things they say about me would hurt, but they can't know that or it would just encourage them to continue! I feel like if you just can't ignore them, then go along with what they say and make it into a joke, I bet they'll feel dumb for even trying to put you down. If that doesn't work, or you're just not funny, then you could simply block them and act like they don't exist. If that still doesn't seem to work for you and it's getting serious, then you could try reporting them to your school's principal or a police officer, to see if they could do anything about it.
I completely agree. Remember you're dealing with someone who is senseless enough to want chaos, so you likely won't get very far by talking to them most of the time. Don't give them what they want, either ignore them until they give up, or counter them by laughing at yourself and showing that you're unaffected by their words.
ReplyDeleteI definitely agree 100% with what you're saying. If you make it seem like a joke then they will probably lose interest once they realize it's not affecting you. If that doesn't work then maybe you should take a little break from social media. After all, nothing lasts forever so they will eventually give up and it will die down.
