Cyber Bullying

Filmmakers will be asked to explore some of the causes of cyber bullying as well as the effects it has on its victims. Films will examine how cyber bullying leads to destructive attitudes and actions from a variety of perspectives: the perpetrator, the victim, and the observer. Filmmakers should also present ways students can successfully confront cyber bullying to enable better decisions and outcomes.
