Questions to Start Conversations with Students

• I’ve noticed that you don’t really seem like yourself lately. Can you think of anything that might be bothering you at school or somewhere else? 
• When I was growing up, I hated when kids bullied other kids, but now they can do it online, too. What kinds of things have you seen online where people are treating another student badly?
• Why do you think students engage in cyberbullying? 

Conclusion

For victims of cyberbullying, the damages can be devastating. They may internalize the cruel words and harassment targeted at them and believe there is something truly wrong with them. This can lead to anxiety, insecurity, and depression, which can become serious. And cyberbullying isn’t just at school—it follows its victims home on social media, so kids can’t escape it.
