Cyberbullying: You Can't Take Back
This lesson focuses on a group of students that shared inappropriate comments about other students. Later, these comments are shared with all students by a peer. This resulted in many hurt feelings and the message that you can't take back comments that are posted or sent online. Individuals must "think before they post."
