Think Pair Share Would you say that there is bullying at school or just drama? What is the difference between drama and bullying? Have you witness people being mean or cruel online? Where do you think most bullying happens (in the cafeteria, in P.E., at lunch, on the bus, in classes, in the hallways, at home when online?

More types of bullying Interactive Gaming Some kids play interactive games such as X-Box Live and Sony Play Station. These kids can verbally abuse other kids, use threats, and rude language while playing these games.

How to stop cyberbullying Tell the cyberbully to stop Print out and save the threating messages Simply ignore Block all communication with the cyberbully through email and IM contact list Avoid going on sites or group where you have been attacked Change your email address account, username, or phone number

TAKE 5 Before sending an IM take a 5 minute break – think about how you are feeling Watch what you put in writing. E-mail and text messages have a of sprouting wings and getting into the wrong hands. Sign off and get psychical, go for a walk, ride a bike, play ball, shoot hoops, play fetch with your dog.

TALK Talk to a friend or older sibling about it. Tell you parents and come up with a plan Have your parent’s talk to the cyber bully’s parents.

Report to the Internet Service Provider Most cyberbullying violates the ISP’s terms of service. Look at the person’s ISP name in their email address. Many ISPs will close an account if a person is breaking the terms of service. If someone has stolen you identity report this to your ISP

Reporting Bullying: It starts with you! Tell a trusted adult. Teacher, admin, counselor. Make an appointment to see a counselor. Sprigeo. Practice Upstanding duties.

Reporting Bullying: It starts with you! Reporting bullying is not snitching. Reporting is good because it can stop the bullying and prevent a fight from happening. Reporting is what an Upstander does. We want ALL students to be Upstanders!
