What is Cyber Bullying?
  • Sending or posting harmful or cruel text or
    images using the Internet or other digital
    communication devices

Cyber Bullying is
  • Sending cruel, vicious, or threatening messages
  • Creating web sites that have stories, cartoons,
    pictures, jokes ridiculing others

  • Posting pictures of classmates online to rate or
    having booths to vote for the ugliest, fattest,
    dumbest,
  • Who is the biggest (derogatory term)?

  • Breaking into an e-mail account sending vicious
    or embarrassing materials.
  • Communicating in IM (instant messaging), tricking
    the person into revealing sensitive, personal
    information, forwarding that information to
    others

  • Taking an embarrassing picture (locker room) of a
    person with a camera phone or digital camera and
    forwarding the picture to others.

Who are Cyber Bullies?
  • Anyone! Some of your most unlikely students take
    part in shocking internet communication.

8
Why Technology?
  • It is a world away from adult knowledge
    and supervision
  • Feelings of anonymity with the ability to attack
    any time, any place

9
  • Home is no longer a safe refuge from the school
    bully.

10
  • The bully can accuse someone else of using his
    screen name
  • The bully feels removed from the action and the
    person at the receiving end

11
  • No tangible feedback about the consequences of
    the action on others
  • Lack of feedback lack of empathy or remorse

12
  • Text messaging with cell phones
  • provides constant access to the target
  • Example Students used a camera phone to take a
    picture of an overweight classmate in the gym
    shower. The picture was distributed throughout
    the school in minutes
