The Forensic Examiner concludes:
• “Cyber-bullying has reached epidemic
proportionswith no end in sight.”
• “Given a child has 24 hour contact with peers,
they are susceptible to perceiving cyberspace
as directly connected to reality.”
• Cyber-bullying can cause severe reactions and
a growing number of children are attempting
to commit “Cyber bullicide”.

14. Students’ Reflections
(questionnaire)
• Almost unanimous that Cyber-bullying is the
same as any other form of violence.
• Cyber-bullying is not the same as schoolyard
bullying because: no need for face to face
confrontation, physical strength isn’t a factor,
many participants, 24/7.
• Confused about adult involvement.

15. Our Reflections
• We feel that we succeeded in heightening
awareness regarding the severity of Cyber-
bullying.
• We were pleasantly surprised at the students’
willingness to openly discuss their thoughts. They
were articulate and mature in their approach.
• They were fully cooperative, completely
immersed in their work and proud of their
presentation.

16. Conclusions
• It is crucial to hold proactive discussions
about “taboo” topics with kids. They are
happier to share than we realize.
• We feel that a follow-up lesson would be
beneficial on adult involvement because the
student questionnaire shows confusionon the
students’ part.
• Raising awareness regarding Cyber-bullying is
a big part of the solution.
