__Cyberbullying PSA Script__

Dylan: Cyberbullying: it's serious. Thousands of children are cyberbullied every single day. It makes them not want to go to school or on the Internet, and for some people, it makes them want to stop living.

Emma: It's not just a joke, and it's a legitimate form of bullying. You hear every day of kids, committing suicide because sadly, they think it's their only option. It isolates kids, makes them depressed, and the worst part is, they don't feel safe. No child should have to feel that way.

Jinni: You've always heard of thinking before you speak, but you have to think before you type too. Don't say something you think may hurt or offend someone, and always consider your actions and how they can affect others. It might sound cheesy, but it's true: you never know when you can push someone over the edge.

Emma: If you or someone you know is being cyberbullied, please tell an adult. Less than 15% of parents of cyberbullying victims knew that their child was being bullied. And if you're bullying someone in any, stop. You have no right to treat anyone that way.

Dylan: Don't join in to picking on someone online, even if you think it's just a joke. Stand up for people if they're being picked on. Although cyberbullying itself is repetitive, picking on someone just once can be harmful enough, and in some states bullying is a criminal charge.

All: Don't be mean behind the screen!
