I'm sure it is much more frequent now. I did have one friend that belonged to forums where they discussed current events and politics. They ended up receiving lots of bad messages and spam at one point. It resulted in them leaving all the forums and social media for a while and it seemed to solve the problem. Eventually they were able to re-join the internet/social media but I think they stayed away from the forum that started it all. ]]> 2019-07-22 18:45:34 UTC https://padlet.com/beth_barsanti/g2ng27uyaog1/wish/371925962 ashley_wheaton https://padlet.com/beth_barsanti/g2ng27uyaog1/wish/371927549 Yes, several of my students talk about how they were cyberbullied. However, one case was actually handled in school because a student was being bullied in school and cyberbullied by the same student. I know the principal used the cyberbullying policy and the student was suspended and it was reported to the local authorities. ]]> 2019-07-22 19:02:38 UTC https://padlet.com/beth_barsanti/g2ng27uyaog1/wish/371927549 lisa_turgeon1 https://padlet.com/beth_barsanti/g2ng27uyaog1/wish/371943463 I worked for 7 years in a middle school and cyberbulling was a huge problem.  Part of the problem was the age of the students. It was their first experience with smartphones and many had social media accounts.  Snapchat played a big role in the bullying because students were sending inapporiate pictures to each other and they were screenshoting and saving the pictures.  We had to get the local police involve and the issue had to be handled by the Board of Education.  
The school now has great policies in place to deal with sitituations like this one and they now have a strong digital citizenship curriculum ]]> 2019-07-22 22:26:13 UTC https://padlet.com/beth_barsanti/g2ng27uyaog1/wish/371943463 jaimecollard https://padlet.com/beth_barsanti/g2ng27uyaog1/wish/371951781 I don't know anyone that has been cyberbullied. I do try to really stress in lessons about the consequences of cyberbullying. I make sure everyone leaves the class knowing that what they say online can always be screenshotted and printed. If a student ever reported cyberbullying to me then I would report it to the principal. ]]> 2019-07-23 00:04:24 UTC https://padlet.com/beth_barsanti/g2ng27uyaog1/wish/371951781 bethanypetrik https://padlet.com/beth_barsanti/g2ng27uyaog1/wish/371958148 2019-07-23 00:57:50 UTC https://padlet.com/beth_barsanti/g2ng27uyaog1/wish/371958148 jcabrallafren3 https://padlet.com/beth_barsanti/g2ng27uyaog1/wish/372022004 2019-07-23 11:40:37 UTC https://padlet.com/beth_barsanti/g2ng27uyaog1/wish/372022004 https://padlet.com/beth_barsanti/g2ng27uyaog1/wish/372072071 While I don't know anyone who has been cyberbullied, all one has to do is check out the comment section of most popular media sites to see examples of it. It's one thing to make a joke here and there in good fun, but being deliberately malicious is downright uncalled for. To that end the best way I've seen is to ignore those types of comments; don't give them the satisfaction of getting a rise out of you.]]> 2019-07-23 21:17:43 UTC https://padlet.com/beth_barsanti/g2ng27uyaog1/wish/372072071 erik_caswell https://padlet.com/beth_barsanti/g2ng27uyaog1/wish/372077118 A lot of the teens where I work have been cyberbullied. The bullying follows them home from school. One student in particular was getting bullied so severely his mom wound up opting to homeschool both of her kids. Based on what kids have told me, bullying doesn't often get addressed when it happens outside of school. There are assemblies, character ed sessions etc about not doing it and consequences for in school, but it's hard for administrators, guidance counselors, therapists, etc to keep up with everything that happens outside their "jurisdiction", now that bullying is moving online. ]]> 2019-07-23 22:03:35 UTC https://padlet.com/beth_barsanti/g2ng27uyaog1/wish/372077118 clare_kelsey https://padlet.com/beth_barsanti/g2ng27uyaog1/wish/372091998 I personally haven't experienced cyberbullying nor do I know anyone who has, but it is something that is always on my radar being a mom to two tween/teen kids. Both of my children have cell phones, but we have established rules around them to help prevent (hopefully) cyberbullying. Both of my kids have been educated on the consequences of cyberbullying or being a bystander. They also know that they need to come to my husband or myself if anything ever happens online that makes them feel upset or threatened. Additionally, we have a rule about charging phones in the kitchen at night and that mom and dad can look at their messages or social media whenever we like. ]]> 2019-07-24 00:38:40 UTC https://padlet.com/beth_barsanti/g2ng27uyaog1/wish/372091998 katrina_kloewer https://padlet.com/beth_barsanti/g2ng27uyaog1/wish/372104507 Nobody has every admitted to me that they were cyber-bullied, but I have certainly seen plenty of nastiness on online forums that probably rose to nearly that level, which is part of why I stay away from social media and most forums now. I know they have had assemblies at my daughter's school, but my kids tend to try not to worry me and are afraid I will take away their devices. (No phone = problem solved? Not that simple, unfortunately!) But it's on the news constantly, including the girlfriend who was just convicted of her boyfriend's death after inciting him to suicide. It's scary. ]]> 2019-07-24 02:14:57 UTC https://padlet.com/beth_barsanti/g2ng27uyaog1/wish/372104507 jennifer_leyden https://padlet.com/beth_barsanti/g2ng27uyaog1/wish/372104785 2019-07-24 02:16:34 UTC https://padlet.com/beth_barsanti/g2ng27uyaog1/wish/372104785 jennifer_leyden https://padlet.com/beth_barsanti/g2ng27uyaog1/wish/372104787 I am not on social media very much.

I do fear for my children growing up in this age of social media bullies etc. I would hope that adults would get involved and that educations on not posting negative and mean comments start at home and is reinforced in school. ]]> 2019-07-24 02:22:28 UTC https://padlet.com/beth_barsanti/g2ng27uyaog1/wish/372105648 janeichord https://padlet.com/beth_barsanti/g2ng27uyaog1/wish/372186448 I don't know specifically of anyone who has been cyberbullied, but I know that it has happened at my school.  These situations tend to be handled confidentially, so it is rare that I learn of these things happening in the school unless a teacher has a reason to share what he or she knows.

The way my brother found out about it is that the kid who was being bullied ended up hitting my brother at school. Because of the zero tolerance policy, my brother ended up being suspended even though he never bullied or hit anyone. It was ridiculous. The kid who hit him got suspended, but I don't know if they found out who was impersonating my brother or what would have happened to them.]]> 2019-07-26 23:00:00 UTC https://padlet.com/beth_barsanti/g2ng27uyaog1/wish/372416686 hannahhoy https://padlet.com/beth_barsanti/g2ng27uyaog1/wish/372426330 I don't know anyone personally who was cyberbullied but I did hear about it a lot in middle and high school. As they talk about in the brain pop video, I think it's important that the school gets involved to handle it, protect their students, and prevent others from doing it.]]> 2019-07-27 03:44:52 UTC https://padlet.com/beth_barsanti/g2ng27uyaog1/wish/372426330 dawn_warnock https://padlet.com/beth_barsanti/g2ng27uyaog1/wish/372429499 We had an incident this year with our 5th graders and cyberbullying. It escalated to the point where the school had to do an intervention/mediation. 

Also, one of my best friends from childhood, whose daughter is now in high school, experienced bullying and cyberbullying for about three years. It was awful to watch. Even after the school and parents intervened, it continued all through middle school. Strangely, it has all gone away in high school. Middle School is a tough age, indeed, so perhaps they are simply maturing?  ]]> 2019-07-27 05:31:32 UTC https://padlet.com/beth_barsanti/g2ng27uyaog1/wish/372429499 mccapuano https://padlet.com/beth_barsanti/g2ng27uyaog1/wish/372454985 I know some people who have been cyberbullied. There was a big incident when I was in high school with some kids in my class fighting with each other online and then instigating physical confrontations in school. I know at that point the school guidance counselors were involved and there was lots of mediation which cooled things down.]]> 2019-07-27 20:45:15 UTC https://padlet.com/beth_barsanti/g2ng27uyaog1/wish/372454985 eblanchette https://padlet.com/beth_barsanti/g2ng27uyaog1/wish/372508454 While I have never been the victim of cyberbullying, it happened to a friend of mine when in college. Her ex boyfriend knew her social media passwords. After they broke up he posted horrible messages about her friends and family on Facebook (while posing as my friend). She reported the incident to Facebook and administration (he only got a slap on the wrist). ]]> 2019-07-28 23:55:53 UTC https://padlet.com/beth_barsanti/g2ng27uyaog1/wish/372508454 https://padlet.com/beth_barsanti/g2ng27uyaog1/wish/372528595 I was once cyberbullied through text messages in high school. Someone in one of my classes was upset that I had a crush on the same boy as her and she got my number from one of my friends. She texted me pretending to be the boy I liked and said lots of mean things. I later found out who it was and was hurt that someone would devise such a scheme! I did not do much to resolve the situation besides telling them that what they did was wrong. While this is not a serious incident, it did make me wary of random messages from people.]]> 2019-07-29 02:58:12 UTC https://padlet.com/beth_barsanti/g2ng27uyaog1/wish/372528595
