THE LESSON MISSION
The Players in Cyberbullying
The first things you need to realize is that when cyberbullying happens, there are several types of people involved. First, there is the cyberbully. This person is the one hurting others online. Secondly, there is the target. This is the person who is being cyberbullied. Then, there is the observer. The observer is someone who sees that someone is being cyberbullied. The observer takes on one of three roles. They are a bystander, a co-bully, or an upstander. If an observer is a bystander, they see that someone is being cyberbullied and do nothing to help the target. If the observer is a co-bully, they see that someone is being cyberbullied and join the cyberbully in hurting the target. If the observer is an upstander, they see that someone is being cyberbullied and stand up for the target against the cyberbully.
Types of Cyberbulling
Now that you know the people involved, you need to be able to identify cyberbullying. Cyberbullying comes in many forms. Let's look at a few of these.
