Character Corner- Be an Upstander, STOP Bullying and Cyberbullying!
"In any moment of decision, the best thing you can do is the right thing, the next best thing is the wrong thing, the worst you can do is nothing."
-Theodore Roosevelt
Silence is not an acceptable response to bullying. Ignoring it won’t work. Everyone needs to be empowered with options for responding to bullying situations.
What is cyberbullying?
Cyberbullying is bullying with the use of digital technologies. It can take place on social media, messaging platforms, gaming platforms, and cell phones. It is repeated behavior, aimed at scaring, angering, or shaming those who are targeted. Examples include:
- spreading lies about or posting embarrassing photos or videos of someone on social media
- sending hurtful, abusive, or threatening messages, images, or videos via messaging platforms
- impersonating someone and sending mean messages to others on their behalf or through fake accounts.
Face-to-face bullying and cyberbullying can often happen alongside each other. But cyberbullying leaves a digital footprint – a record that can prove useful and provide evidence to help stop the abuse (source: Unicef)
Take the Anti-bullying pledge by agreeing to:
- Treat others respectfully.
- Try to include those who are left out.
- Refuse to bully others.
- Refuse to watch, laugh or join in when someone is being bullied.
- Refuse to take out your cell phone and record interactions where someone is being bullied.
- Refuse to send hurtful or threatening messages, create fake accounts and send mean messages, spread lies or post embarrassing photos or videos of others on Snapchat, Instagram, and other social media platforms.
- Tell an adult.
- Help those who are being bullied.
