Real Life Example. Teenager David Knight of Burlington, Ontario had been cyber bullied for quite a while. Openng the website saying 'Welcome to the web site that makes fun of Dave Knight hateful comments directed at him and everyone in his family Whoever created the web site asked others to join in, posting rude, unessecary, sexual comments and destroying David's reputation. He was accused of being a pedophile, also accused of using the date rape drug on little boys. Along with the web site, there were nasty e-mails too. "Here's an e-mail, 'You're gay, don't ever talk again, no one likes you, you're immature and dirty, go wash your face.'" http://www.cbc.ca/news/background/bullying/cyber_bullying.html

Central York AUP introduces rules you have to follow up to or their will be major consequences. Including, defamatory, lewd, vulgar, profane, threatening, harrasing, discriminating, bullying, terroristic. If you obey these their will be serious consequences all revolving around cyber bullying.

I feel that only the big rules should be kept like the email is visible for teachers and staff to see, the thing about child pornography, the technology protection measure. I think they are the main things stated in the AUP. Everything else is reasonable and somewhat important. They honestly tell to much instead of getting to the main point, they need to make the statement be done with it then move to the next one.

My AUP Safety guidelines that have to be followed in order to be a student in our district. Including cyber bullying, which means harassing, tormenting, rude, vulgar comments being made to the main target. Child pornography is another big one. This law states when a child under 18 is sending sexual pictures or videos over the internet such as e-mail, and through mobile text. Safety is also important. Technology protection measure is most important. Its a protection that blocks or filter,sInternet access to visual depictions that are obscene, child pornography or harmful to minors.

It depends on what they violated, depending on what they did or how many times it happened. It someone is caught cyber bullying I would quickly give them a out of school suspension because that is not tolerated. It all falls in a place where you can't decide what the consequences are until you really find out what they have violated. But honestly if it has something to do with cyber bullying, child pornography, sexting, or a safety concern I would give an out of school suspension. You never know if it could be worse so its hard to decide.

Teachers and staff can aware students about cyber bullying, All it takes is a little lesson. If you can tell a student isn't acting himself, not talking as much, as a teacher or staff in the school you should know something is wrong. Talk to him/her just to make everything is alright, ask if he/she wants to talk to a guidance counselor. If they feel this is consistent, they should stay off the internet till every things seems to be handled.

People spend 80% of their working life interacting with fellow human beings and it's a mystery why interpersonal skills and assertiveness don't appear on the school curriculum.
