Online Conflict

Cyberbullying rarely starts as an attack — it usually starts as a joke that goes too far. Explore the blurry line between teasing, conflict, and harassment, and learn why impact always outweighs intent online.

Cyberbullying rarely starts as an all-out attack—it escalates through small, identifiable moments called "pivot points." Explore why online conflict spirals so quickly and how students can use "upstander" strategies to interrupt it before it gets there.

A whispered secret in a crowded hallway is nothing like the same secret posted online. Explore how impersonation, catfishing, doxxing, and leaking weaponize personal information—and build a plan to protect your own.

Clapping back at a cyberbully feels like justice, but it usually backfires and prolongs the conflict. Students master the D.B.R.T. protocol—Document, Block, Report, Tell—and practice deciding who to loop in, from parents to police, across a set of real-world scenarios.

Cyberbullying isn't always someone else's problem—a share, a like, or a forwarded meme can make any of us part of the harm. Explore how passive actions spread damage online and practice building a real repair plan when you mess up.
