In this Discussion, you will consider your own thoughts on this issue. Based on information in this week’s Learning Resources and your own experiences, reflect on the following:
Do you think school leaders should have the authority to punish students who cyberbully others?
In this week’s video program, Dr. Sommers-Flanagan emphasizes the need for adults to be aware of how teens are using technology and for adults to work together to establish social norms that make it clear that bullying is unacceptable. How, specifically, might professionals who work with adolescents implement this advice in order to prevent cyberbullying incidents? (You may base your response on any specific profession/setting of your choice.)
