What is flaming?

I've Been Flamed!

Flaming is being mean to someone online. If someone flames you by posting mean things or sending you cruel or rude emails, ignore them. It's only by mail so they can't get to you. Answering the post or email just gives the person another reason to keep attacking. If no one responds to a flame, the flamer gets bored and goes on to bother someone else. Ignore flamers as you would any other bully. However, you should show the flames to your parents so they can decide what to do.
