"Everybody does it!" is often the clarion call to justify cyberbullying. Here's a lesson plan that encourages high schoolers to challenge these behaviors. Participants examine images, watch videos, and engage in discussions designed to create empathy for those who experience cyberbullying. Groups then create a poster identifying strategies for changing the attitudes that permit bullying.
