The message is out. Anyone can be cyberbullied and anyone can be a cyberbully. The proliferation of social networks makes a lot of us vulnerable. This video attempts to warn people, particularly young teens, about the pitfalls of becoming a victim. Featured are three teens who were victims of cyberbullying and how they handled their particular situation. Sound advice for teens—keep private information private. Use common sense. Don’t respond. Do seek help from a trusted adult. The video is accompanied by a helpful Teacher’s Resource Book. The book also contains additional information about the faces of cyberbullying, more stories and fact sheets with data and links to online resources. A computer file is available on the DVD. This video can easily serve a classroom teacher in health or self-awareness classes. Highly recommended for teens and young adults.
