Did you know that 43% of kids have been victim to cyberbullying, but 58% of them have not told their parents?
Did you know that cyberbullying is one of the most common online dangers, and kids and teens are particularly susceptible because they tend to take their tormentor's words to heart and resist confiding in their own parents.

Organising your time
Did you know that children now spend more time with the media via Internet and mobile technology than they do with their family, in school, or sleeping. A 2012 a nationwide survey conducted by the Kaiser Family Foundation found that in just five years, media use has increased from 6 ½ to nearly 7 ½ hours a day in children between the ages of 8 and 18. As if this weren’t frightening enough, children also tend to be master multitaskers, using as many as three technological tools at once to browse through their digital lives.

Students: How to Stop a Bully
Akira from Japan
When someone tries to bully you, it is scary. Here are
some things you can do if you are being bullied by another
student.
First, try not to be afraid if a bully bothers you. Why? A bully likes
to bully people who are afraid of him, so try not to show the bully
that you are scared of him.
Second, try to make friends. That is the best way to stop a bully. Why?
A bully likes to bully people who are alone. If you are always with friends, he will probably ignore you.
Third, work with other students to stop the bully. Why? You need to work together to stand up to the bully and show him that no one likes him when he bullies.
Fourth, if you see a bully attack another student, help that student.
Support him and ask him to join your group. Why? This will help him,
and it will also help make your group strong.
Finally, when someone bullies you, tell people you are being
bullied. Tell your friends. Tell adults like your parents and
your teachers that you are being bullied. Why? This may
make the bully worried and he may stop bullying.
If you do these things, you will enjoy school
more.
