As a result of this project I spoke to my students about Cyberbullying. I shared the statistics of unreported cases and asked if they had either personally experienced this or know someone who had. Every hand in the room went up in each class period. I showed this video to my students and it opened a great dialogue. What really surprised me was how they took this message and made something meaningful from it.
Three students began collecting anonymous stories from our campus about the student experiences, how it made and how it made them feel. The letters written by these students were heart wrenching. There is now a formal sponsor and a group beginning when we return from break to support students with these experiences and how to avoid or stop them. The really amazing part it the group is being formed and "run" by students for students. They never cease to amaze me.
