iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii

The internet is like a community, but it is linked electronically. !!!!! !!!

Just like a physical community, the internet has appropriate as well as

inappropriate places to visit. !In a physical community, you know the inappropriate places to go so it is easy to avoid them. Online, however, sometimes getting to an inappropriate place is as easy as accidentally clicking a link from a search, advertisement or e-mail that SEEMS perfectly appropriate. !

So what do you do if you end up somewhere you didn’t mean to be?

!!!!!

The best thing to do is EXIT immediately. !

Some sites are designed to prevent you from exiting through a process called looping. If you find yourself on this type of website it may be necessary to turn the computer OFF!

5 Q’s To Stop Bullying:

One of the main reasons why bullying is not addressed is that the bully tells teachers, the Principal, or their parents that they were just

“playing around” with the victim.

Here are five questions that determine a student’s intentions:

1. If someone I didn’t know came up to me and hit me or said something rude to me in front of my friends, would I laugh and think it was funny? Would I do the same thing to a total stranger that I just did to my “friend”?

2. If the person I just “played around” with did the exact same thing to ME in front of my friends, would I laugh and think it was funny?

3. Was this the first time I hit, kicked, made a joke about, or otherwise “played around” with this person?

4. Would I sit at the same lunch table with the person I just “played around” with? Would I invite this person to my house to hang out and/or play?

5. Did I stop bothering this person immediately after they asked me to stop?
