Thank you also, for reminding us to return to the basics: be kind, be respectful, and operate with integrity. <br /><br />Unfortunately, our school is not immune to this problem. It is stated that Bullying/Relational Agression will not go away without intentionally intervening and education. The workshops will be helpful. Can the students attend the workshops?<br /><br />Another private school in our area has developed a "bullying awareness cirriculum" that included the kids writing papers from a variety of perspectives: that of the "agressor/bullies", "victim" and those around the situation. The students openly discussed their learning, the pulls and impact. The intent was to make it safe to talk about bullying, safe to interrupt it, safe to stand up to it.<br /><br />Thanks again for taking this on.<br /><br />With respect,<br />JeanJean Bye Ophttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04211898261588968840noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6479711992105138753.post-27227366422236314302010-11-05T11:03:43.677-07:002010-11-05T11:03:43.677-07:00In addition to Rachel's tips, which is good ad...In addition to Rachel's tips, which is good advice, teens and parents should take a look at a new book written for teens & parents about the consequences of cyberbullying.<br /><br />After 23 years in juvenile court, I believe that teenagers learn from the experiences of their peers, not just from being lectured by those in authority. Consequently, “Teen Cyberbullying Investigated” was published in January, 2010.<br /><br />Endorsed by Dr. Phil on April 8, 2010 ["Bullied to Death" show], “Teen Cyberbullying Investigated” presents real cases of teens in trouble over their online and cell phone activities.<br /><br />Civil & criminal sanctions have been imposed on teens over their emails, blogs, text and IM messages, Facebook entries and more. TCI is interactive and promotes education & awareness so that our youth will begin to “Think B4 U Click.” <br /><br />Thanks for looking at “Teen Cyberbullying Investigated” on http://www.freespirit.com [publisher] or on http://www.askthejudge.info [a free website for & about teens and the law].<br /><br />Respectfully, -Judge Tom.JudgeTomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05614575979271797114noreply@blogger.com
