A bully, a victim, and a bystander—far from the beginning of a joke, cyberbullying is no laughing matter. Bystander or upstander? As part of the study of cyberbullying, high schoolers first read a series of articles about cyberbullying and suggestions for ways to deal with this form of abuse. Pairs examine a series of scenarios and talk about how they might handle the situation. Groups craft and perform a skit that explores the role of the bystander in a bullying situation.
