Writing Prompt on Cyberbullying

1. If you and your friends know this is happening and do nothing about it, what message does this send to the bully?
2. What are some things you can do or say?
3. If you choose to stand up for your classmate, how have you impacted your school
climate regarding cyber bullying?
4. In standing up for your classmate, what message is communicated to your classmate?
