Talk:Case Study: Henry, a Victim of Cyberbullying/@comment-26533199-20150731054946

The fact that it got as far as it did suggests that the school, as a whole, needs a culture shift, where bullying and anti-bullying methods such as a student ally program, are regularly discussed. The more this is at the forefront of students' minds, the less likely it is that they will think bullying (real or virtual) is okay. It is not enough to have anti-bullying policy in place with a few signs posted around the school. Nor is it enough to have it printed in the student handbook and touched on once at Back to School Night. I am impressed by schools that have social development worked into the required curriculum. It shouldn't take someone getting bullied for educators to recognize that all students everywhere would benefit from learning how to be an ally and avoid bullying behaviors, some of which people (of all ages) engage in without always realizing they are being hurtful. So, I think the school needs to look at the various programs out there and put one in place that fits the culture and climate of the school.
