Bullying

** If a friend upsets you,  ** ** remember it’s easy to  ** ** accidentally sound hurtful  ** ** online because people  ** ** can’t hear your voice  ** ** and can’t always tell if  ** ** you’re joking. **  **  Be a good friend. ** **  If one of your friends is  ** ** being bullied online or  ** ** Don’t say anything  ** ** online you wouldn’t say  ** ** to someone’s face. **   **  Nearly all of us can be contacted 24/7 via the internet or our mobile phones. **   **  Victims can be reached anytime and anyplace. For many children, home is no longer a refuge from the bullies. **   **  “Children can escape threats and abuse in the classroom, only to find text messages and emails from the same tormentors when they arrive home.”  ** ** If you cannot say something nice then do not say it, not even through technology. It’s Not Worth it! **
