16. “A class where everyone can tell how they really feel about something anonymously.” “I would offer a club type of group after school. It would act as a support group for people needing and/or wanting help. I would like to create after school programs to allow kids to come if they want or need the help.” “…I would probably have division 'sessions' to help address any issues the students may be facing.” “Send parents/guardians letters on how and why to be accepting of their child.” “A secure anti-cyberbully rule; even if a person suspects that another kid is cyberbully him/her, counselors should handle the situation firmly.”
