Cyberbullying

=== **In this specific scenario, I would first carefully and privately approach James because he is the student being harassed of cyber bullying. I would take the time to understand and listen to the whole story of why, when and how it happened. After consoling and recognizing his feelings, I would then meet with the high school bullies involved and other bystanders who are able to give a third perspective on the situation. I would first listen to each high school student one at a time to understand who and what lead to their actions of cyber bullying. While discussing with the high school bullies I would reiterate the school rules, and the expectations of their behavior. Finally, I would contact their parents to come up with appropriate consequences and for further intervention for the bully and/or victim. My idea of solving this situation is to have the high school bullies apologize to not only the victim, but to all the other students were being contacted about James “sexuality.” They would also need to cancel all e-mail accounts, and be involved in campaigns going against cyber bullying. I would discuss with the School Board to put together campaigns to use student’s technology skill to help stop cyber bullying. By developing rules around cyber bullying and designating individual students to gain roles of leadership inside of school will allow students to be safe and not harassed. If they had the opportunity to recognize the flaws in cyber bullying, and stand against it, they may likely continue to carry the message throughout their entire education.** ===
