Welcome Back! Today we will look at examples of cyberbullying and talk about the possible consequences of cyberbullying.
During the last class, we viewed some videos of cyberbullies and you wrote down how you would feel if this happened to you. Share these thoughts with your partner. You have five minutes.
Did both of you have similar thoughts and feelings? I thought so. Whether it is physical bullying or cyberbullying, it hurts and no one wants to be bullied.
But... is cyberbullying such a big deal? I mean it's online, so what's the big deal?
It is a HUGE deal! Cyberbullying is not only hurtful, it can have consequences for the person being bullied and the person doing the bullying. Let's watch the video below to see how people can cyberbully others and the effects it can have on people.
