How do you protect yourself from cyber bullying

5. An Ounce of Prevention...
Place / keep computer(s) with Internet access in an open, commonly used space
Never give out personal information or passwords, P.I.N. numbers etc..-Personal information includes
your name, the names of friends or family, your address, phone number, school name (or team name if
you play sports). Personal info also includes pictures of yourself and your e-mail address. Ask permission
before sharing any information with a Web site, a "chat buddy" and even when registering a product
purchased for your computer (like a game). Passwords are secrets Never tell anyone your password
except your parents or guardian.
Don't believe everything you see or read -Just because someone online tells you that they are 15 doesn't
mean they are telling the truth. Even adults can't tell when a male pretends to be a female or a 50 year
old pretends to be a 15 year old.
Use Netiquette -Be polite to others online just as you would off-line. If someone treats you rudely or
meanly - do not respond. Online bullies are just like off-line. ones - they WANT you to answer (don't give
them the satisfaction).
Don't send a message to someone else when you are angry -Wait until you have calmed down and had
time to think. Do your best to make sure that your messages are calmly and factually written. You will
usually regret sending a "Flame" (angry) to someone else later on. Once you've sent a message, it is
VERY hard to undo the damage that such "flames" can do.
Don't open a mesage from someone you don't know - If in doubt about it, ask your parents, guardian or
another adult.
If it doesn't look or feel right, it probably isn't -Trust your instincts and teach your kids to trust theirs. While
surfing the Internet, if you find something that you don't like, makes you feel uncomfortable or scares you,
turn off the computer and tell an adult.
You don't have to be "Always On" turn off, disconnect, unplug, try actual reality instead of virtual reality! -
Give yourself a break Don't stay online or connected too long. Spend time with your family and friends off
line.
Sign on the dotted line Make and print out an online contract with your parents or guardians. Ask your
parents to read the information for them on this Web site, so they will be informed about cyberbullying
and Internet safety issues.

Lesson 5 – who is responsible for eliminating cyber bullying. - classroom group
activity online

6. 20. Present students with a question – What is the schools role in reducing cuber
bullying?
a. Students enter answer
21. Present students with a list of steps to take – sample below
When schools try and get involved by disciplining the student for cyberbullying actions
that took place off-campus and outside of school hours, they are often sued for
exceeding their authority and violating the student's free speech right. They also, often
lose. Schools can be very effective brokers in working with the parents to stop and
remedy cyberbullying situations. They can also educate the students on cyberethics and
the law. If schools are creative, they can sometimes avoid the claim that their actions
exceeded their legal authority for off-campus cyberbullying actions. We recommend that
a provision is added to the school's acceptable use policy reserving the right to discipline
the student for actions taken off-campus if they are intended to have an effect on a
student or they adversely affect the safety and well-being of student while in school. This
makes it a contractual, not a constitutional, issue

Parents need to be the one trusted place kids can go when things go wrong online and
offline. Yet they often are the one place kids avoid when things go wrong online. Why?
Parents tend to overreact. Most children will avoid telling their parents about a
cyberbullying incident fearing they will only make things worse. (Calling the other
parents, the school, blaming the victim or taking away Internet privileges.) Unfortunately,
they also sometimes underreact, and rarely get it "just right." (You can read more about
this in "Not Too Hot, Not Too Cold! Goldilocks and the CyberParents")
Parents need to be supportive of your child during this time. You may be tempted to give
the "stick and stones may break your bones, but words will never hurt you" lecture, but
words and cyberattacks can wound a child easily and have a lasting effect. These attacks
follow them into your otherwise safe home and wherevertheygo online. And when up to
700 million accomplices can be recruited to help target or humiliate your child, the risk of
emotional pain is veryreal, and veryserious. Don't brush it off.
Let the school know so the guidance counselor can keep an eye out for in-school
bullying and for how your child is handling things. You may want to notify your
pediatrician, family counselor or clergy for support if things progress. It is crucial that
you are there to provide the necessarysupport and love. Make themfeel secure. Children

7. have committed suicide after having been cyberbullied, and in Japan one young girl
killed another after a cyberbullying incident. Take it seriously.
Parents also need to understand that a child is just as likely to be a cyberbully as a
victim of cyberbullying and often go back and forth between the two roles during one
incident. They may not even realize that they are seen as a cyberbully. (You can learn
more about this under the "Inadvertent Cyberbully" profile of a cyberbully.)
We have a quick guide to what to do if your child is being cyberbullied: Your actions
have to escalate as the threat and hurt to your child does. But there are two things you
must consider before anything else. Is your child at risk of physical harm or assault?
And how are they handling the attacks emotionally?
If there is any indication that personal contact information has been posted online, or
any threats are made to your child, you must run.do not walk, to your local law
enforcement agency (not the FBI). Take a print-out of all instances of cyberbullying to
show them, but note that a print-out is not sufficient to prove a case of cyber-harassment
or cyberbullying. You'll need electronic evidence and live data for that. (You may want to
answer the questions on our checklist for helping spot the difference between annoying
communications and potentially dangerous ones. But remember, if in doubt, report it.)
Let the law enforcement agency know that the trained cyber-harassment volunteers at
WiredSafety.org will work with them (without charge) to help them find the cyberbully
offline and to evaluate the case. It is crucial that all electronic evidence is preserved
to allow the person to be traced and to take whatever action needs to be taken. The
electronic evidence is at risk for being deleted bythe Internet service providers
unless you reach out and notify them that you need those records preserved. The
police or volunteers at WiredSafety.org can advise you how to do that quickly. Using
a monitoring product, like Spectorsoft, collects all electronic data necessary to
report, investigate and prosecute your case (if necessary). While hopefully you will
never need it, the evidence is automatically saved by the software in a form useable
by law enforcement when you need it without you having to learn to log or copy
header and IP information
