Last Friday, 25th October Stage 3 watched a drama performance on the topic of Cyber Bullying put on by Class Act Theatre. The drama centered on the lives of CJ and Jess who bump into each other at the park after school. They eventually start talking to each other and soon discover that each have dark secrets of cyber bullying and it is revealed, to their mutual dismay, that they have become victims as well as perpetrators!
The play explored all facets of electronic bullying, including:
- Internet
- Emails
- Web Sites
- Social Networking
- Chat Rooms
- Mobile phones
- Text messages
It also tackled the issues of:
- How to prevent Cyber bullying
- Friendship
- Self-Esteem
This performance raised lots of questions about cyber bullying and students completed discussion questions to further their understanding of this problem. It would be great if you can talk to your child about their online use and seek help if they have been on the receiving end of cyber bullying.
