Re: Advice in regards to bullying

The good thing about online bullying is that you always have evidence of it. She needs to screencap every instance of online bullying, print it out and then present it to the school authorities and parents of the bullies as evidence of what these bullies are doing and saying.

When I was in school, nobody cared about bullying. But more recently, because of suicides and other tragedies related to bullying, schools are taking it a little more seriously.

Online bullying is a really tricky situation, though. Only a handful of schools have started incorporating it into their policies, and the others are mostly hesitant because it's technically off school grounds, not on school time, and not something that anyone wants in their jurisdiction. That's not to say I don't think there should be consequences, but there aren't procedures set up in regular law enforcement either.

Most cyber bullying falls under full on assault and slander, but people don't know how to deal with that when it's name-calling and harassment by teens and preteens. They don't want to react to kids the same way they might with adults -- not to mention all the time and paperwork that would go into, in an already over-burdened system.

You're right, it's more on people's minds since we had a slew of suicides the victims linked to the bullying they were subjected to online. So some schools are trying to blaze the trail to figure out what to do, and others are sitting around waiting for someone to shows them the way. But there's still no easy or clean answer.

True, but if the parents of the bullies are the type to refuse that their precious angels are actually doing anything wrong, she has evidence to prove otherwise. I would assume the bullying is happening in the school most of the time but so often the adults who witness it turn a blind eye. At least with the online stuff, you can prove that it's happening and show who's involved.

Totally, which is wicked awesome when it happens. Then, the school is required to do something about it, if the parent comes in and says "bullying" enough. Most districts I've been through are required to respond to bullying situations, but admin hate that word because it means more paper work and hours.
