This video provides kids with strategies for preventing and stopping cyberbullying. Online harassment becomes cyberbullying when it’s intentional, repeated, and an abuse of power. Kids are increasingly using this form of bullying to harass, exclude, and torment others. (9 minute 30 seconds)
Use these cyberbullying scenarios to discuss what the characters did right and what they could have done better. (For more information on this activity see page 15 of the facilitator’s guide.)
Some kids may try to use friendship as a way to bully. This behavior can be difficult to detect. Kids with disabilities may have an especially difficult time detecting who is a friend and who is not. This activity is designed to help kids detect when friendship is used in hurtful way. (For more information on this activity see Including Kids With Disabilities In Bullying Prevention Guide page 11.)
