HOW TO STOP

CYBERBULLYING

THERE ARE 5 STIPS HOW TO AVOID BULLYING

A few other things schools can do to help
prevent cyberbullying
•Start from the ground up. Build a community that rewards kindness and
compassion, not only academic or athletic achievement.
•Use the Internet in lesson plans. Schools can use social networks and
other digital tools within the context of the curriculum (for example, an
online tool on which all students must collaborate) to teach students how
to use the Internet respectfully and productively.
•Teach digital citizenship. Schools can implement digital citizenship
programs that encourage students to work together to understand the
importance and power of online tools -- and the responsibility that comes
with using them.
 
What can schools do to prevent
cyberbullying?

Schools can't prevent cyberbullying any more than they can prevent regular bullying.
Kids who want to bully will find a way. But schools can encourage tolerance,
respect, and conflict resolution. Many schools have programs to give students a code
of conduct, a safe environment in which to discuss their feelings, and a shared
vocabulary that fosters empathy.
• Beyond that, many schools are working to promote digital citizenship,
online respect and responsibility, and consequences for misuse that
involve education and re-direction rather than simple punitive actions.
The ideal model is a school that incorporates digital citizenship lessons
into the school day.
