What is Cyberbullying?
What? When a child, preteen or teen is tormented by another child, preteen or
teen using the Internet, interactive and digital technologies or mobile phones. It has to have a minor on both sides, or at least have been instigated by a minor against another minor.
How? The methods used are limited only by the child's imagination and access to
technology (Social networks, phones, chats…)

Strategies for stopping cyberbullying
Educate social media users on how to recognize, handle, and prevent cyberbullying
Show people the effects of cyberbullying
Inform people on how to report or go to higher authority if needed
Get people involved in the anti cyberbullying movement
No more anonymity Get laws passed making
cyberbullying illegal
Theme: No More Anonymity
Facebook’s marketing director Randi Zuckerberg says the best way to end cyberbullying is to not allow anonymous or spam accounts
“people hide behind anonymity and feel like they can say whatever they want behind closed doors”
Eric Schmidt, former Google CEO has made this suggestion in the past and predictes “govenments will eventually ‘demand’ that people use their names for all online activity”

How Social Media sites can take action
Conditions and terms of use agreement before accessing a Social media site
Public record of your social media account Monitor Activity Point system like drivers when flagged or

Financing
Our optimal plan will be to pair with a nonprofit and use their financial backing to help get our program off the ground. If not, we have several options: Bootstrapping: Generate funds ourselves Small bank loans Partner with similar programs of size or scope
Critical Success Factors
How are we going to measure our success?
Indicators: Social media monitoring: Are kids talking
about the issue? Website traffic: Is our website generating
views? Number of participants: How many schools,
faculty, parents, and/or students are participating?
Focus on effectiveness more than efficency
Stop cyber bullying
