1. Cyber Bullying

2. Protect Yourself from Cyber Bullying

Date: Name:

Cyber bullying is the use of the Internet to harass, intimidate, embarrass or demean others.

Quiz 1: What Jax did is considered cyber bullying, but Alan could have prevented this incident from happening. What could Alan have done differently to protect himself?

Quiz 2: What could Alan’s classmates have done differently to help and prevent the email from spreading more?

Quiz 3: Alan’s anger is understandable, but revenge will not solve the problem. What could Alan have done instead?

Betty, Clubhouse Supervisor

Save emails or other evidence of cyber bullying for when you report it.6.
