Cyberbullying What will we talk about today?
Activity: Acts of bullying • Your friend sends you an embarrassing photo of one of the girls at his school. You think it’s funny so you forward it to everyone in your address book. • A new student at your school has a speech impediment and you anonymously create the first meme about him on your school’s memes page. This starts a frenzy of posts about this student’s impediment. • Your friend gets drunk at a party and you post a photo of her on your Facebook page without her permission. She asks you to take it down but you ignore the request. • Your girlfriend cheats on you so you break up with her and decide to send naked photos of her that you have on your phone to your friends. • You set up a fake email address for one of the students at your school and use it to send love letters to another classmate as a joke.
