"Unless and until our society recognizes cyberbullying for what it is, the suffering of thousands of silent victims will continue." -Anna Maria Chavez

 Hi and welcome to my blog.

I am currently a second year assistant principal at a private high school in Baltimore, MD. Over the past couple of years, we’ve had several issues that revolved around student misuse of social media, both during school hours and outside of school hours. Our principal and dean of students have been the primary ones to handle these issues, although through conversations with them, I realized I had a need to learn more about social media issues in schools, specifically about cyberbullying. As a new administrator, I want to make sure that I am as knowledgeable as possible about issues that impact our students. For this reason, I’ve started this blog with the goal of deepening my understanding of cyberbullying through research and discussion. I look forward to sharing information and insights with you, and also to interacting with you through the comments section. My hope is to share information that can be valuable to many different stakeholder groups - parents, teachers, administrators, and even students. If you’d like to learn a little about cyberbullying before we begin, check out this page, which offers a nice overview.

If you have any questions, or if there are any specific aspects of cyberbullying that you’d like for me to address throughout this blog, please share them in the comments section below.

 Looking forward to learning with you!

"A lie can travel halfway around the world while the truth is putting on its shoes." -Mark Twain According to The Cyberbullying Research Center, cyberbullying is "when  someone repeatedly and intentionally harasses, mistreats, or makes fun of another person online or while using cell phones or other electronic devices.” Before jumping into ways to prevent and address cyberbullying, I thought it would be useful to share some statistics as a way of providing some context and perspective around the issue. Below are 10 cyberbullying statistics to help you better understand the scope of the issue: 1. 34% of students between the ages of 12 and 17 have been the victims of cyberbullying in their lifetime. (Source: Cyberbullying Research Center ) 2. 12% of students between the ages of 12 and 17 admitted that they had cyberbullied others at some point in their lifetime.

Cyberbullying Laws & Policies

"Cyber bullies can hide behind a mask of anonymity online, and do not need direct physical access to their victims to do unimaginable harm." -Anna Maria Chavez This morning I read a post on the Cyber Bullying: Hiding Behind the Screen blog that included a list of times when you should report cyberbullying to law enforcement, including threats of violence, posting a picture/video of someone in privacy, stalking, and hate crimes. This post made me wonder about the legal requirements and ramifications surrounding cyberbullying, both as they pertain to schools and administrators as well as to people who engage in acts of cyberbullying. The website Stopbullying.gov lists applicable laws by state, including a detailed list of all Maryland Anti-Bullying Laws & Policies . In Maryland, anti-bullying school policies are required to contain the following elements: Statements prohibiting bullying, harassment, and intimidation in schools Statements prohibiting reprisal or re...
