<p>One of the reasons I think this works so well is that the scripting was lead by a group of children and young people. As part of the research and development process kids were involved in outlining the narrative in order to make sure the film addressed their concerns and issues. Many resources designed for young people don't bring their actual audience into the process soon enough - consultation often takes place to late in the day to be meaningful. </p>Amy Bowllan commented on 'Video: Cyberbullying is bullying'tag:typepad.com,2003:6a00d83451f00f69e200e55290beb588332008-05-30T15:55:29Z2008-05-30T15:55:29ZAmy Bowllanhttp://www.schoollibraryjournal.com/bowllanCheck out Parry Aftab and Wired Safety website for information on Cyberbullying conference starting this Monday.<p>Check out Parry Aftab and Wired Safety website for information on Cyberbullying conference starting this Monday.</p>Karyn Romeis commented on 'Video: Cyberbullying is bullying'tag:typepad.com,2003:6a00d83451f00f69e200e55290620488332008-05-30T13:49:27Z2008-05-30T13:49:28ZKaryn Romeishttp://karyromeis.blogspot.comSadly, I'm in a place where I can't watch the video today (and I forgot my headphones at the office)....<p>Sadly, I'm in a place where I can't watch the video today (and I forgot my headphones at the office). However, bullying of whatever type is something that has effects that extend beyond just the victim and his relationship with the bullies. When our <a href="http://karynromeis.blogspot.com/2007/03/happy-slapping-isnt-happy.html" rel="nofollow">younger son was being targeted</a>, it affected the whole family. My husband and I had to engage with the school (and, on occasion, the police). Our older son went on a witch-hunt and had to be taken in hand.</p>
<p>And our younger son developed a chip on his shoulder which, in a new school is in danger of making <b>him</b> the bully - he has developed an inclination towards "get your retaliation in first" or "do everything in your power not to come across as a victim" which, in an environment where this is nothing to retaliate against and you're not being victimised, results in him being the aggressor. Fortunately, we think we've caught it early enough, but even the simple act of laughing callously at someone else's misfortune or of despising someone else for being "weak" is a sign that all is not as it should be.</p>
<p>Bullying generates a cycle of behaviour that has to be broken somewhere. We just hope we've caught it early enough to achieve that!</p>Derek Randel commented on 'Video: Cyberbullying is bullying'tag:typepad.com,2003:6a00d83451f00f69e200e5529048f588332008-05-30T13:04:13Z2008-05-30T13:04:13ZDerek Randelhttp://www.stoppingschoolviolence.comExcellent video.

There is much for parents to learn. The video shows one of the main problems - an Internet connection in the student's room. Great job<br />

I also showed this to my 8th and 9th graders and got the same reaction and great discussion of how cyberbullying happens and how it feels, and what the "bystanders" can do.</p>Josie Fraser commented on 'Video: Cyberbullying is bullying'tag:typepad.com,2003:6a00d83451f00f69e200e552a904e688342008-05-30T07:53:44Z2008-05-30T07:53:45ZJosie Fraserhttp://fraser.typepad.com/socialtech/You can also view the video over at Childnet's digital citizenship site - Digizen: http://www.digizen.org/cyberbullying/ Where you can find a...<p>You can also view the video over at Childnet's digital citizenship site - Digizen: http://www.digizen.org/cyberbullying/<br />
