Modern Bullies: Cyberbullying
Out of sight, does not mean out of mind
Useful Strategies:
If you are being bullied online or via text, do not delete. Print out copies.
Do not respond or retaliate. This makes you a bully also.
Do Not Foward
Tell a trusted adult.
Unplug, take a break! Do not keep checking back to see what else has been posted.
If you are a bystander, tell an adult.
Prevention & Intervention
Bullying is a part of adolescence that has been around for probably an indefinite period. Technology has transformed the way adolescents bully one another. Bullying has expanded into the world of cyberspace where there are no real limitations. Just because it is not face to face bullying, it is real and it is a problem.
