Cyberbullying

This essay explains how I would handle a situation that involved cyberbullying.

Knowing how to handle this sort of situation is important. Bullying is unacceptable in any regard.

I may not go this exact route when handling cyberbullying, but I’m sure that I’d do something like it, only in a more educated way.

The first thing I would do is have a meeting with James. I’d talk to him about his comfort level with himself, and whether or not he’s talked to his parents. I’d also find out if he knows exactly who is bullying him. I’d then suggest having a meeting with him and his parents, whether or not he’s talked to them yet. I’d ask for proof of incidents. If there wasn’t any proof yet, I’d give James instructions on how to obtain the proof. I’d explain how to print screen and copy and paste data. My next move would be to have a meeting with the principal, James, and his parents. Depending on the decision of the principal, either he/she or I would further the investigation of the matter. In the mean time, I’d research the best ways to deal with the situation, and I’d study the cyberbullying policies of my school. I’d follow the guidelines set down by the policies, and hopefully address the matter with the bullies.The hope is that they would stop and not do it again with anyone else.
