Cyberbullying Ad Council- Talent Show

Cyber-bullying Definition: Cyber-bullying: sending or posting harmful material or engaging in other forms of social aggression using the Internet or other digital technologies. (Nancy Willard, 2007)

Cyber-bullying “The tradition of home as a refuge from bullies on the school playground is over. The Internet is the new playground, and there are no off hours. The popularity of instant messaging, , webpages, and blogging means kids are a target 24 hours per day, seven days a week.”

Textual Harassment?

Cyber-bullying Hello Loves, Halloween is tomorrow I wonder what everyone will be wearing… B looked pissed at the end of 7 th period – apparently she had to play goalie. Hmm lets all shed a tear for her. (Notice freshly dyed hair) J was caught throwing a fit in the hall today – over what you may ask? Ask her yourself. Apparently the Twins were both whispering to A and the Ice Queen about…me? I told you all I would never tell my name. B flirting with N again, I personally think he doesn’t like her that much – you all know it’s true. K was hugging one of the twins today. I wonder if it was the one who is going out with J- or are they still together? Looks like A got a haircut…the layers don’t really work for her. She would have been better off getting a dye job – or her highlights retouched. “I won’t tell you who I am, but check up on my profile for the latest gossip CMS Students I Ah-bviously can’t tell you who I am, but I can tell you that I go to CMS – hmmm or maybe CHS….? People tell me things, I find out – I blog it here
