Great! Now, let's review some of the terms mentioned in the video. What does it mean to stop, block and tell?
So, when should you tell an adult about a cyberbullying incident? If you see someone cyberbullying someone or know of it happening to someone, you should report it to an adult you trust right away. It’s important that when you report to an adult, however, that you are actually reporting not tattling. What’s the difference?
Tattling is when you tell on someone for the purpose of getting that person in trouble or causing trouble.
Reporting is when you tell an adult because the person is either hurt or hurting someone else.
Now, we will do an activity. For this activity you will be given two scenarios. You will read each scenario, then you will decide if what happened was an example of tattling or reporting. We will discuss your answers in class.
You will be able to type your answer or write your answer down on paper. Your answers must be in complete sentences.
If you want to type your answer, you must click on the black link below. When you click on the link, you will click on the I am student button. Your teacher will give you your access code. You will then create an account. After you create an account, your teacher will show you how to access the scenarios and how to type your responses.

Excellent work discussing those scenarios!
So, now you know you must always report cyberbullying incidents to an adult if someone is hurting someone else or is you or another person is being hurt. Cyberbullying is very, very hurtful and grown-ups are here to help you with this issue. But....what happens if you tell a grown-up and you think nothing was done? Should you stop trying to tell an adult about an incident?
NO!
Grown-ups are not perfect either. Sometimes grown-ups may not understand what you are reporting or may not know what to do. If you report an incident to a grown-up and feel nothing was done, then tell another grown-up. You keep telling a grown up, until you know something was done.
For homework tonight, you will create a list of ten grown-ups that you really trust. The grown-ups you list can be anyone you trust. Then you must explain why you trust each person.
