Bullies- Put downers and get backers Targets- victims of the cyberbully

Tips- never send messages when angry, never say something online you wouldn't say in person, tell students not to believe everything they read, tell students not to share personal info (explicit discussion of what constitutes persnal information), teach students limits to free speech (threats of violence, harassment or stalking, hate or bias crimes, etc), teach students that words are deeds (a traceable action), teach students that the internet is not anonymous, online actions are punishable

What to do- send a neutral message telling the bully to stop, remove yourself from situation, block or filter all further communications through email or im, don't forward them to anyone else (accelerates situation), don't continue to read, tell a trusted adult or parent (parent needs to not threaten to take their access away), contact the bully's parents, contact the police or school officials, tell the victim that it isn't their fault, save message for evidence if it is threatening, file a complaint, call an attorney
