Cyberbullying

Cyberbullying

As an educator in James’s case I would take a few steps in putting a stop to all of the emails the group of boys are sending out. My first step would be to talk to James about the whole thing and get his feelings on it, whether he feels safe at all, what the students are saying about him, if I could read some of the emails to understand what he is going through. My second step would be to contact the parents and see if we could set up a meeting with the principal and James at the school to discuss what it is we need to do. My third step would be to help educate all of the other students about cyberbullying without using James as an example, or for the lesson to seem out of place and put the group of kids who are doing the bullying on guard or give them more ammunition, so to speak, to use against James. My fourth step would be to contact all of the parents of the boys who are doing the bullying and explain to them what is going on. My fifth step which would be in correlation with James’s parents is to contact Yahoo.com and have them get rid of the email account the boys are using to send the fake messages. These steps are not necessarily in order, but they are some ideas that I would use to help James and stop his case of cyberbullying as well as prevent any future cyberbullying at the school as much as possible. Also I would only take these specific steps if either James told me about the cyberbullying he was experiencing or if his parents contacted either me or the principal about his situation. This is an essay on a specific case about Cyberbullying and the steps I would take as a teacher to stop it from getting worst. I thought this essay was a very smart and effective tool not only for me, but for younger students as well. I could use this type of lesson to teach students about the effects of Cyberbulling and also find out what they would do in a situation like this.
