Mrs. Hatcher- 7th gr. Cyber Bullying Discussion

Bullying is not just on the playground any more! Cyberbullying is a form of bullying in which the perpetrator chooses to torment his or her victim through a technological device (Cell phones and Computers)

Seventh grade Health classes have been visiting the Library Information Center for an ISAFE presentation on Cyberbullying with Mrs. Hatcher. The presentation included a discussion of recent news about "Facebook" regarding a cyberbullying lawsuit against the site, as well as recent
issues with "MySpace." Students also viewed a video called "Seven Ways to Block a Cyberbully" and completed its accompanying activity sheet.
