Cyberbullying

The website www.cyberbulling.us is a website that provides information to ALL people about the signs, effects, facts, statistics and helpful resources on cyber bullying int todays society. I really enjoyed tho site because of all the information it provides on ways to work with adolescents who are being cyber bullied. I would use this in my classroom as discussion on bullying so kids know a good site where they can find help.

Cyber bullying

Cyber-bullying is bullying, it breaks you down and hurts immensely. With the scenario of a boy being teased by peers because of his sexuality as an educator you have to see how hard it is to be the outsider. This boy does not deserve the torment he is receiving whether or not his sexuality is “against the norm”. As an educator if I were to see this occurring I would definitely get the parents involved to make sure they know what is going on. One step as a teacher that I would take is initiating a cyber bullying awareness week for the entire school. This could include an assembly where the videos we watched on YouTube could be shown and guest speakers could come and share stories of the pain caused by cyber bullying. This way you could get the points across about the damages caused by cyber bullying and also make an effort to emphasize on the consequences if one is to bully through virtual networks. Using the resources on cyberbully.net I would include possible assignments for the kids to partake in. By giving kids a visual and real life accounts of cyber bullying it could open their eyes to what can really happen. If this does not stop the fake email accounts and tormenting towards James then I would get the authorities involved to trace the accounts.
