The mobile phone has become a part of everyday life, making it easy to stay in touch almost anywhere. In a short period of time it has developed from a mobile version of a traditional phone to something closer to a handheld computer. But familiarity with new technology has enabled some young people to develop ways of using mobile phones to intimidate and harass others.

'Incoming Message', a 10-minute film, follows the story of a case of text bullying, and the consequences for all those involved.

It has positive messages for young people: they are not alone, there are people and organisations that can help and they can take action to stop others hurting them. We hope that the film will help those who think text bullying is harmless to understand the damage it can cause.
