  11. Cyberbullying • Sending or posting insulting or threatening messages/images by phone, e-mail, Web sites, text message or any other electronic or written communication.

  12. We know the policies, but how can this affect us in real life?

  13. Phoebe Prince, 15 • Tormented by classmates from Sept. 09 until she committed suicide Jan.14, 2010. • March 29, 2010: 9 students were indicted for her death; charges include statutory rape, violation of civil rights, criminal harassment and disturbance of a school assembly.

  14. Carl Joseph Walker-Hoover, 11 • 04/09/09: New York, commits suicide • Carl was often bullied by students who made anti-gay/homophobic comments about him

  15. What should you do if you are a bystander (witness the bullying)?

  16. Bystanders should • Speak up to the bully, if safe to do so, against the bullying act • Help the victim (i.e. pick up their papers, walk them to class, etc.) • Report the act: talk to a teacher, counselor, administrator immediately. Fill out the Bullying Incident Report Form and return to the CC or main office

  17. A Bystander Should NOT… • Encourage the bullying by watching or cheering • Join in on the bullying • Do nothing/ignore the incident

  18. What should you do if you are being bullied?

  19. If you are a victim • Make eye contact • Tell the person to “stop”, if you feel safe. • Ignore the act (even though the hurt feeling is still there). Bullying is about power. They are trying to take your power from you. • If you are alone, try to stay in a group or with a friend • Don’t let the person see you scared or sad (again, it’s about power and control…keep yours) • Use humor or be funny • Be Assertive and have confidence in who you are • Report it always! It’s not snitching!!

  20. - Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. “It is not malicious acts that will do us in, but the appalling silence and indifference of good people”
