Cyberbullying No More!
Teachers and Cyberbullying
Teachers are the eyes and ears to cyberbullying in schools.  Even though all cases of cyberbullying do not occur on school grounds, the harmful gossip usually takes place in school classrooms, hallways, gyms, cafeterias, and on playgrounds.  Teachers can educate their students on cyberbullying by explaining  what constitutes cyberbullying and different ways to protect themselves from cyberbullies.
