Cyber-bullying Tip Sheet  for parents & students
Dealing with Cyberbullying
Case Study 1
Case Study 2
Cyberbullying is when kids are intentionally and repeatedly mean to one another using cell phones or the Internet. Some examples are posting someone else's video or picture without permission; making cruel comments on a Website or blog; making threatening or intimidating comments to or about another person.

This kind of behavior can make kids feel angry, frustrated, sad, or afraid. If you witness cyberbullying show understanding and support to the targeted person, do not react to the bully, and ask a trusted adult for help. Also, save and show evidence of the bully behavior.

Jaleesa and Kim are friends at Jefferson Middle School. Kim tells Jaleesa that she doesn’t want to hang out with her any more. Jaleesa is angry and upset. She uploads a photo of Kim from her cell phone that was taken at a slumber party two weeks earlier. Jaleesa sends the photo to everyone on her buddy list with a message attached: “Kim is such a  ****.”

What’s the Problem?  How do you think Kim felt?

What might the kids who received the e-mail think or do?

Think About It  One day you like someone. The next day you don’t. 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 cell phones or the Internet, it’s called cyberbullying. Sometimes kids can handle cyberbullying and not get too upset. Other times, it can make kids feel angry, frustrated, sad, or afraid. 

Remember:  Everyone has a right not to be bullied and the responsibility to treat others fairly.

•  Save copies of bullying IMs, e-mails, or text messages.

•  Don’t share or allow photos of yourself that could be used to embarrass you.

•  Show the evidence of cyberbullying to a trusted adult who can help you.
