Episode 3: Cyberbullying

Your feedback would be highly appreciated! Please use this link. Hello! My name is Ginny Helmandollar. I am a senior from Louisa County High School and the Blue Ridge Virtual Governor's School program. A component of my Senior Project is to give back to the community, so I have chosen to begin a podcast called Us, Now. In each episode, I have a discussion with various guests from around my school about relevant social issues high school students face today. For the third episode, we will be talking about cyberbullying. Many of us are familiar with its definition, and with the rise of social media, cyberbullying is becoming more and more of a problem. Sometimes, it is difficult to recognize because of how easily people can social media to their advantage. Some topics that we talk about today include: What is considered cyberbullying? Where does it occur most? Which groups are most frequently cyberbullied? How does cyberbullying differ in middle school vs. high school? What effect can cyberbullying have on mental health? Group mentality What role should schools, parents, friends, etc. have in curbing cyberbullying? How can we decrease cyberbullying? If someone witnesses or is a victim of cyberbullying, what can they do? A special thank you goes out to Mr. Todd Ryan, Ms. Katherine Duke, Jahiem Poole, and Reagan Scherer for participating in my podcast!
