📱 Unsolicited Pictures — What to Do

If someone sends you a picture you did not ask for, it is NOT your fault. Here is what to do:

  • 1. Do not reply. Do not react. The sender wants a reaction.
  • 2. Screenshot everything. Save the message and profile.
  • 3. Block them. Immediately on every platform.
  • 4. Report them. Instagram, TikTok, Snapchat all have reporting tools.
  • 5. Tell someone you trust. A parent, teacher, or call Childline on 0800 1111 (free, 24/7).

💬 Cyberbullying — You Are Not Alone

  • Block them. You do not owe anyone access to you.
  • Save evidence. Screenshots, dates, times.
  • Tell someone. A parent, teacher, or Childline: 0800 1111.
  • Report the account. Every platform has anti-bullying tools.
