- One day you like someone. The next day you donât. Angry, you say something or post something online. It gets passed around quickly and easily. So now, everybody knows about it and everybody talks about it in school. While maybe you are mean only once, when you do it online your posting or message is repeated again and again as it gets passed around. Meanness multiplies. When kids are intentionally and repeatedly mean to one another using mobile phones or the Internet, itâs called cyberbullying. Sometimes kids can handle cyberbullying and not get too upset. Other times, it can make kids feel angry, frustrated, sad, or afraid.
- What do you think happened to the remaining 9 kids who never reported their bullying incidents?They endure and remain angry, frustrated, sad or afraid throughout their schooling life.They play truant and skip lessons.They suffer from health problems and lower self-esteem.They plot revenge and become bullies themselves.They end up having to undergo counseling or see a psychiatrist.They take their own lives.

- Type 1: The âVengeful AngelâThese cyberbullies donât see themselves as bullies at all.They see themselves as righting wrongs, or protecting themselves or others from the âbad guysâ they are now victimizing.The âVengeful Angelâ cyberbully often gets involved trying to protect a friend who is being bullied or cyberbullied.Type 2: The âPower Hungryâ + âRevenge of The NerdsâThese cyberbullies need an audience.They want to exert their authority and show that they are powerful enough to make others do what they want them to do.These cyberbullies have often been victims of typical bullying.They have better tech skills than others (thus, âRevenge of The Nerdsâ).This type of bully typically works in secret and doesnât tell others what he/she is doing.They rarely see the seriousness of their actions.Most dangerous of all cyberbullies!Type 3: The âMean GirlâHappens withcyberbullies who are bored and/or looking for entertainmentEgo-based and most immature of all cyberbullying typesTypically female cyberbullies.Victims are typically other girls, but can also be boys.Sometimes done as a group (physically or virtually).Type 4: The âInadvertentâThesecyberbullies do not think of themselves as bullies.They may pretend to be tough online, role-playing or reacting to hateful or provocative messages.They do not typically lash out intentionally.Tend to respond in anger or frustration.Sometimes send out cyberbullying communication without understanding how serious it could be.Sometimes send communication that they think is funny or a joke but the receiver interprets as cyberbullying (due to lack of body language).Are typically surprised when someone accuses them of cyberbullying.
- Good NetiquetteStart by making sure you are sending the right things to the right place, that it arrives and that the right person(s) gets it.Is it worth sending? Donât waste peopleâs time and bandwidth with junk, chain emails and false rumours.Proofread and spell-check your emails and make sure the receiver(s) knows who you are.Donât attack others online, say anything that could be considered insulting or that is controversial.Donât forward other peopleâs emails without their permission or share their personal information.Are you angry when youâre writing this message? Take 5 and reconsider your words.Donât reply to spam; donât even email and ask to be removed from their mailing list. Simply, ignore and filter into spam box.How private is the message you are sending? Are you willing to have others read this message or forward it to others without your permission?Be nice to people in your âreal worldâ as real world issues become intensified on the internetIt is okay not to answer a message/email/text right awayCyberbullyingbehaviour should never be a strategy to resolve conflicts with others.
- Personal information:passwords, login IDs, pin numbers, home address and telephone numbersIt is okay not to answer a message/email/text right awayBe nice to people in your âreal worldâ as real world issues become intensified on the internetCyberbullies know their victims; the victims may not know their cyberbullies.Victims are often fearful of telling others about being bullied because they are afraid that the bullying may become worse if they tell.Victims are also often afraid to report to adults about being cyberbullied, as they fear the adults will over-react and take away their mobile devices and/or internet access.
- Stop, Block, Tell: Donât reply, block the sender, tell someone (a trusted adult)Adults: parents, teachersSave the evidence â screen capture on the computer, saved text messages on the mobile phone, print out the emails/messages of harassmentIdentify the sender â contact ISP (Internet Service Provider) if necessaryGoogle yourself and ask yourself if you are revealing private information of yourself over the Internet.
- What is the problem here?How do you think Joseph felt?What do you think the boys watching Anthony were thinking?What do you think the kids at school said or did the next day?When kids are in groups, they sometimes do things that they would not do alone. Using someone elseâs password and screen name to embarrass them is cyberbullyingbehaviour. Some of the kids at Josephâs sleepover may think Anthonyâs behavior is wrong, but they donât say anything. So Anthony thinks that everyone in the group agrees with him. Kids who see, hear, or know about cyberbullying are called bystanders. The bigger the group of bystanders is, the less likely it is that any of them will try to help. Why do you think this is true?What could the bystanders at Jesseâs home say to stop the cyberbullying behavior? What would make things worse?
- What is the problem here?How do you think Kim felt?What might the kids who received the email think or do?What should Kim do? How would you advise her?
- If you were Sandraâs friend, what advice would you give her?
- If he called you for advice, what would you tell him?
- What is the problem here?Imagine someone telling an embarrassing secret about you in front of a bunch of kids at school. Now imagine someone posting an embarrassing secret about you on the Internet.When kids intentionally embarrass another kid, thatâs just plain mean. Embarrassing or humiliating another kid using the Internet is cyberbullying. When Joseph and the others posted the video online, they set up a cyberbullying situation. They made it easy for other kids in school, and kids all over the world, to join in with them and post hurtful words online â again and again.As a bystander,what could you say to or do for Kevin?what could you say to Joseph?what could you say to the other kids at school who viewed the video and left cruel comments?how could you have involved a trusted adult?
- Both Sandra and Andrew are the targets of cyberbullying. Whether bullies are face to face or in cyberspace, they feel powerful when they bother other people. They may use hurtful words or threaten. Often the cyberbully is someone you know face to face. Perhaps the bully ïŹnds it easier to be mean and nasty online, when he or she canât see the other personâs reaction. Online or off, bullying is meant to make you feel uncomfortable. Either way, itâs upsetting.
- Bullying should not be tolerated, whether in school or in cyberspace. Trust your uncomfortable feelings â they mean something is wrong. Letâs recall the steps to take when confronted by cyberbullying.If you witness cyberbullying, you can help by supporting the target and letting the bullies know that their behavior is not acceptable.
- 1. Who is Kim?2. What did she do to Joe and why?3. How did Joe feel about the websites and emails he received?4. Joe deleted one of the messages he received. Was this the right thing to do? What should he do instead?5. Why did the police turn up in school?
