Managing Screen Time - The Student's PerspectiveSecurly
The opportunities and perils of giving students access to devices like Chromebooks and iPads are well documented. Until now, however, conversations around topics such as screen time, web filtering, cyberbullying, and privacy have been dominated by adults. Very little is known about how today’s youth, the “1:1 generation”, are coping with an unprecedented use of technology in school and at home. We surveyed over 400 students to get their thoughts. Some of the results may surprise you.

ids have been bullying each other for gener-
ations. The latest generation, however, has
been able to utilize technology to expand
their reach and the extent of their harm. This phe-
nomenon is being called cyberbullying, defined as:
“willful and repeated harm inflicted through the use
of computers, cell phones, and other electronic de-
vices.” Basically, we are referring to incidents where
adolescents use technology to harass, threaten, hu-
miliate, or otherwise hassle their peers. For exam-
ple, youth can send hurtful text messages to others
or spread rumors using smartphones or tablets.
Teens have also created web pages, videos, and
profiles on social media platforms making fun of
others. With mobile devices, adolescents have tak-
en pictures in a bedroom, a bathroom, or another
location where privacy is expected, and posted or
distributed them online. Others have recorded un-
authorized videos of other kids and uploaded them
for the world to see, rate, tag, and discuss. Still oth-
ers are embracing anonymous apps or chat func-
tionality on gaming networks to tear down or hu-
miliate others.
What are some negative effects that cyber-
bullying can have on a person?
There are many detrimental outcomes associated
with cyberbullying that reach into the real world.
First, many targets report feeling depressed, sad,
angry, and frustrated. As one teenager stated: “It
makes me hurt both physically and mentally. It
scares me and takes away all my confidence. It
makes me feel sick and worthless.” Those who are
victimized by cyberbullying also reveal that they are
often afraid or embarrassed to go to school. In ad-
dition, research has revealed a link between cyber-
bullying and low self-esteem, family problems, aca-
demic difficulties, school violence, and various de-
linquent behaviors. Finally, cyberbullied youth also
report having suicidal thoughts, and there have
been a number of examples in the United States
and abroad where youth who were victimized end-
ed up taking their own lives.
Where does cyberbullying commonly occur?
Cyberbullying occurs across a variety of venues and
mediums in cyberspace, and it shouldn’t come as a
surprise that it occurs most often where teenagers
congregate. Initially, many kids hung out in chat
rooms, and as a result that is where most harass-
ment took place. In recent years, most youth are
have been drawn to social media (such as Insta-
gram, Snapchat, and Twitter) and video-sharing
sites (such as YouTube). This trend has led to in-
creased reports of cyberbullying occurring in those
environments. Voice chat, textual chat, and texting
via phones or tablets also can provide an environ-
ment in whi.

Internet Safety and Cyberbullying Awareness for Middle Schoolers.moeenali5423
In today's digital age, where access to the internet is almost ubiquitous, middle school students are increasingly exposed to the online world. While the internet provides immense educational and social opportunities, it also poses risks, especially in terms of online safety and cyberbullying. Educators, parents, and society as a whole must equip middle schoolers with the knowledge and skills necessary to navigate the online world safely and responsibly. This article aims to explore the importance of internet safety and cyberbullying awareness for middle school students, providing valuable insights and practical strategies to ensure their online well-being.
In the UK, a reported 22% of children and young people claim to have been the target of cyberbullying making this one of the most important new areas of behavior to understand and to equip schools, carers and young people with the ability to respond.
In 2007, Childnet was commissioned by the Department for Children, Schools and Families to produce advice and guidance for schools on preventing and responding to cyberbullying. Lead by Will Gardner and Josie Fraser, Childnet worked in close consultation with a wide range of sectors including children and young people, schools, industry, law enforcement, professional bodies, parent groups and child welfare organisations.

Executive Statement
Cyberbullying is a growing epidemic in the world of bullying
with some unique characteristics that make it especially
traumatic for children; it can even easily follow them home.
With all the evidence about how dangerous it is, we propose
that USD 497 adopt a comprehensive bullying program for
middle school children that is also effective with
cyberbullying, and a solid option is the internationally
renowned iSafe antibullying program1
. To keep our middle
school children from becoming another statistic on a growing
national rap sheet of children who are the victim of
cyberbullying or who are bullying online, we need to adopt a
comprehensive cyberbullying program to protect one of our
most valuable assets.
What IS the Problem?
Cyberbullying is bullying that takes place using electronic
technology, via cell phones, computers, and tablets and
through communication tools such as social media websites,
text messaging, and chatting2
.
Cyberbullying has been shown to be incredibly damaging to
the targets and those who do it. Boys who have cyberbullied
had an increased risk of incarceration in adulthood3
. The
victims of cyberbullying may suffer from anxiety, low
self-esteem, depression and even suicide4
. When it comes to
the school system where children have unlimited access
online, it is of crucial importance that they be protected and
guided in that.

2. Like many other states, Kansas says that all kinds of bullying must be addressed by the local school boards5
. USD 497 does have
policy around bullying6
, but the district leaves it up to each school to interpret their version of following the policy. Having one
comprehensive program in place for all middle schools could be more effective.
The Policy Landscape
Who Does it Affect?
Any student who uses technology is at risk of cyberbullying,
and one incident has the potential to be continuously viewed,
unlike bullying that does not happen via technology. Children
who would not engage in other forms of bullying seem to
engage more readily in cyberbullying7
. As far as bullying in
general, depending on the environment, minorities may be more
at risk8
. Middle school children, however, are especially
impressionable and are increasingly using technology.
The statistics on cyberbullying are sobering. Over 90% of
students from ages 12 to 17 have access to a computer. Over
50% of adolescents and teens have been bullied online, and
almost that number have also been a part of the bullying. More
than 25% have experienced repeated bullying online or through
their phones9
. Suicide also has been shown to be linked to
cyberbullying, and suicide is one of the leading causes of death
among young people10
. There are numerous statistics with
regards to cyberbullying, but they all point to one thing;
Cyberbullying is prevalent and harmful.
Cost & Benefits
Any type of bullying, including cyberbullying, can cause a
student to be truant or have low attendance, have expulsions,
be involved in vandalism, or drop out of school altogether.
When added up in a school of 1,000 students, the cost of such
activities was estimated at a staggering 2,314,600.00 per
year11
. Sometimes school districts are sued and fined for
limiting freedom of speech when taking action against
cyberbullying12
. However, with greater education for students
and staff on how to deal with cyberbullying even before it
begins, the likelihood of that happening will decrease. The
cost of cyberbullying could be enormous, and doing nothing
could have more serious consequences.
School districts, though, will have to find resources to
implement a comprehensive cyberbullying program. To offset
that cost, a district-wide policy could be adopted, and
resources, information, and trainings could be shared among
all schools to provide less of a greater overall cost.
Cyberbullying is a growing issue that could affect every student with access to technology. Putting a comprehensive program in place
that educates middle school staff and students within USD 497 about how to deal with bullying online is the best chance at trying to
eliminate cyberbullying as much as possible.
What Does This Mean?
As members of the Lawrence school board and protectors of our children, you can act to ensure that our children are educated about
staying safe wherever they are. Adopt a program like iSafe that looks at bullying on various levels and includes treatment for the ever
growing threat of cyberbullying. A program like this needs to be enacted before one of the horror stories of cyberbullying becomes a
reality in our own backyard.
Establish a strong antibullying program, like iSafe, that will also address cyberbullying in USD 497 school district.
Provide training for the antibullying programs that are implemented in USD 497 for all school employees.
Provide professional development materials and resources to school employees
Our Goals
Adopt a Program In Lawrence
