Stop Cyberbullying

Recently, our school held an assembly on cyberbullying. It seems to be a problem that is growing worse! Ryan Halligan was in 8th grade when he committed suicide, after several years of bullying at school and online. His father, John Halligan, speaks to students across the country about his son in the hopes of preventing this from happening to anyone else. John has been outspoken about the need for more education and prevention of bullying, cyber bullying and teen suicide throughout the United States and Canada. His son’s story and his accomplishments in response to this tragedy have been told world-wide by print, radio and TV.



After watching this video, I want you to think about how Ryan must have felt. Then, answer this question: If you knew that someone was being cyberbullied, what could you do to help?
