In line with reading a passage, 'The Penfriend', I showed students a video of Ryan Halligan, a 13-year-old victim of cyberbullying who committed suicide. (Video can be assessed here.)
With the current technology, bullying is not confined to the school premises.
Bullying follows the victim 'home'.
My main message to my students was for them to be careful who they 'befriend' online, and to be careful what they say/do online; And of course, for them to no be a bully - "Do unto others what you want others to do unto you."
Always put yourself into the other party's shoes before you do anything...
