High School Story App Game

April 21, 2014

Please Share!

High School Story App Game! We all know that bullying is a problem. It is even more of a problem now that there is the internet. I have heard horror stories about this and it makes me sick.

High School Story App Game

The things others will do or say to one another are SCARY. Cyberbullying is a serious issue facing many children and their families. Every year, one in six American teens is cyberbullied, according to the CDC. If that does not wake you up, what will?

What Can Be Done?

After learning about the tragic deaths of cyberbullying victims Audrie Pott and Rebecca Sedwick, the creators of High School Story decided to take a stand. Since then, they’ve introduced a special in-game storyline that has already taught 2 million High School Story players how to deal with cyberbullies.
They’ve also used the game to raise $200,000 in donations to the anti-cyberbullying charity Cybersmile, and are directing over 100 teen bullying victims per week to Cybersmile’s counselors through in-game resources. The campaign has been featured by the Washington Post, Fox News, The San Francisco Chronicle, Fast Company, and more.
 
High School Story, which launched on Kindle devices, is a fun and educational mobile game played by millions of teens that let them build their dream high school experience from the ground up! This is all just the beginning for High School Story creators, who plan to weave other educational and coming-of-age topics into the game.

    By telling her to tell us- or her teachers. Also to monitor whats happening online !

  2. Sand says

    May 10, 2014 at 10:12 pm

    By using parental controls and talking to my child.

  3. Betty C says

    May 10, 2014 at 9:17 pm

    My children are all adults but they have had to address the issue with their own children. They don’t allow unmonitored internet use and they watch to make sure everything is appropriate.

  4. Bryan E. says

    Thanks for the giveaway…we use parental control software to monitor our kids online use; we regularly reinforce the proper online behavior we expect them to use online with their friends & correspondents.

    Internet safety will be addressed by not letting my lil’ one on he internet unless either i or my husband are around. Electric devices with internet capabilities will be strictly in the family rooms, not anywhere else. As far as cyber bullying or bullying in general, will be handled with a DO TELL policy, Tell what happens and let the adults in your life handle the situation. If my child gets bullied the situation will be handled until it is resolved, but she’ll also be fully aware that bullying on her part will be 100% unacceptable.

    i monitor my daughters time on the internet and on her phone

  7. Leslie L Stanziani says

    May 10, 2014 at 8:25 pm

    My oldest 2 children are teenage girls.We have already dealt with the cyber bullying.My advice is to ignore the bully.The more yo fight back the more problems there are.

  8. cassandra says

    May 10, 2014 at 8:24 pm

    I will monitor usage and of course talk to her about the dangers of the internet!

  9. Ellie W says

    May 10, 2014 at 7:46 pm

    My boys have been talked to about bullying and understand what to do if they, or if they see someone else, being bullied. Thankfully the problem has not arisen yet.

  10. Pixel Berry Pie says

    May 10, 2014 at 8:41 pm

    We monitor the family’s internet usage. Make sure that the kids understand about respecting people online — don’t become a cyberbully just because you can.

  11. Kim Reid says

    May 10, 2014 at 7:35 pm

    We monitor their computer activities and ask them to share any situations that might be online bullying.

  12. Lisa L says

    May 10, 2014 at 7:34 pm

    My son has recently started using a computer and I will have to monitor his time on it and teach him correct internet behavior

  13. Mihaela Day says

    May 10, 2014 at 7:26 pm

    We talk to our kids about how to handle different situations and that cyber bullying is not allowed 🙂

  14. Lisa Fonseca says

    May 10, 2014 at 7:21 pm

    I think it’s all about teaching them right from wrong and making them responsible for their actions. Also checking up on what they’re doing, can’t forget that important one.

  15. Michelle S says

    May 10, 2014 at 7:20 pm

    As another person has already said, I will limit their usage on social network sites but that won’t stop other people from being cyberbullies. Be careful what you say/do online because it’ll go around and I will show case examples of it in the media. Don’t feed into the bullying, and if need be shut yourself away from the site. I would also use the reporting tools for the site if their bullying violates the terms of service.

  16. Lorena Keech says

    May 10, 2014 at 6:01 pm

    No social media in our household for children under 16.

  17. jules m. says

    May 10, 2014 at 5:57 pm

    Ive raised her to be very assertive, and we do not tolerate bullying 🙂

  18. Sherry Conrad says

    May 10, 2014 at 6:41 pm

    My kids are older, thankfully and my daughter keeps a very close eye on my grandsons activities.

  19. Vikki Billings says

    May 10, 2014 at 5:20 pm

    I used parental controls on the computer and the computer was in the living room so that we were there to see what they did on line.

  20. Rita Spratlen says

    May 10, 2014 at 5:19 pm

    Kids have gotten so mean and have the internet as a tool today compared to my day. I think you have to instill upon your children they will be teased. That insecure kids and adults do this. They have to learn not to take comments seriously and have good self esteem. Parents can help a lot with this. My grandson is only 3 but today’s world we just have to talk and try to keep the communication open.

  21. Julie Hawkins says

    May 10, 2014 at 3:02 pm

    I will make sure they are aware of it, monitor their activities, and let them know they can tell me anything

  22. Tonya E. Hopkins says

    May 10, 2014 at 4:00 pm

    I am going to put parental controls on the computer as well as monitor what my kids do online.

  23. April V. says

    May 10, 2014 at 2:20 pm

    Most bullying is more effective because children are very unsure of themselves and lack confidence. Building up a child’s confidence in themselves will help them in ignoring the bullying. Explaining about why bullies do it and where it comes from ahead of time is also helpful. Obviously keeping them in safer areas online helps but a great deal of bullying goes on in school which is much harder to police as a parent. Keep your child informed, help them build their own confidence and limit their interactions with bullies.

  24. Barbara Stenby says

    May 10, 2014 at 1:49 pm

    unfortunately we have dealt with cyber bullying many times it is hard to deal with. We used the principal & parents.

  25. Jessica says

    May 10, 2014 at 12:37 pm

    My daughter is still way too little for the internet, but we will slowly introduce her to it and closely monitor what she is allowed to do on it. I plan on telling her that bullies are a part of life and it is important to keep your head up.

  26. Karen Gonyea says

    May 10, 2014 at 9:54 am

    We teach our kids by teaching them to respect everyone.

  27. Tabitha P. says

    May 10, 2014 at 9:47 am

    i’ve taught my dd not to put personal info out there.
    i’ve explained creepers,too.
    she isn’t on anything that would have cyber bulling yet.

  28. Christian Alejandro says

    May 10, 2014 at 9:17 am

    We haven’t gotten to that age yet, but we will always do our best to let them know that we are 100% accessible if they ever feel threatened or bullied in any way.

  29. Candie L says

    May 10, 2014 at 8:49 am

    I closely monitor their social media accounts and cell phone. When my son was in 6th grade a friend got in serious trouble for sexting. We had many conversations since then. Thank you

  30. Candace says

    May 10, 2014 at 8:41 am

    We have read stories about how people’s feeling gets hurt when you are mean to them.

  31. Missy says

    May 10, 2014 at 8:35 am

    By using parental control and checking in with the kids to see if it is happening.

  32. Amanda says

    May 10, 2014 at 7:28 am

    My stepkids have to give either my husband or I, their passwords to any social media sites. They know it is not to get into their business or not give them any privacy…it’s to keep things from happening to them such as bullying and predators. We also have an open door policy, that the kids can come to talk to me about anything, because since I’m the stepmother, there are some issues they feel are easier to come to me with than their dad.

  33. Chris N says

    May 10, 2014 at 7:24 am

    we monitor usage and keep lines of communication open.

  34. Taryn T. says

    May 10, 2014 at 6:25 am

    We have had some issues with bullying and Minecraft. We talk about how to choose safe friends, and use parental controls to guide this!

  35. tracey byram says

    May 10, 2014 at 5:44 am

    I have the parental control set on the computer and supervise the kids while they are using the internet.

  36. Angela Ash says

    May 10, 2014 at 4:43 am

    I address cyberbullying by being open about what’s out there and how others have been affected. Showing examples are a good way because then you aren’t just talking, you have facts to back it up and show just how serious it is.

  37. Karen Drake says

    May 10, 2014 at 4:41 am

    I monitor my grandkids when they are on the internet at my house, we have discussed safety and cyber bullying and how to prevent and deal with it.

  38. Robin says

    May 10, 2014 at 4:41 am

    We monitor the websites our kids visit and talked about what sites to stay away from on the internet

  39. Kimberly Hilbert says

    May 10, 2014 at 4:20 am

    We talk about it a lot and the computer is in a room where it is highly visible by the whole family.

  40. Irv says

    May 9, 2014 at 11:17 pm

    Just follow the “silver rule:” “Do not do unto others what you would not have them do unto you.”

  41. Tara says

    May 9, 2014 at 10:16 pm

    I have an app installed on their devices to see what they are doing & where they have been. They also know that I can & will check their devices at any time.

  42. kris m says

    May 9, 2014 at 9:49 pm

    WITH MY HUSBAND BEING A POLICE OFFICER AND I WORK FOR A JUDGE WE SEE LOTS OF CRAZY STUFF… WE PREACH TO THEM AND PRAY …ALL WE CAN DO 🙂

  45. Melissa says

    May 9, 2014 at 9:26 pm

    tell them they can always talk to me if someone is bullying them and i will help and they know it is wrong to bully.

  46. Robby Rob says

    May 9, 2014 at 8:27 pm

    no computers in the bedrooms and no real names

  47. Heather C says

    May 9, 2014 at 8:24 pm

    We have already had issues with bullying at school, and she’s only in kindergarten. We just talk everything out, also we let her teacher know what’s going on. Her teacher tells her to let her know if she’s having an issues with anyone. She’s also seeing a counselor, and we are keeping her busy with activites outside of school. We are hoping to build her self esteem, she’s tried dance, karate, and gymnastics.

  48. Karrie Millheim says

    May 9, 2014 at 8:15 pm

    I tell my kids to tell me anything and to trust me. That this is a different world today and I will help them through anything and only do what they decide to do about it. I want them to trust me enough to tell me if it happens to them

  49. sky evans says

    May 9, 2014 at 8:14 pm

    I’ll address cyberbullying by giving real life examples and explaining carefully.

  50. Melanie Montgomery says

    May 9, 2014 at 7:48 pm

    My children will know that bullying of any kind is wrong and won’t be tolerated.
    And if they are being bullied they should tell someone right away.

  51. Miz Vickik says

    May 9, 2014 at 7:16 pm

    By monitoring them and having regular talks.

  52. tina reynolds says

    May 9, 2014 at 7:05 pm

    I will help deal with it by talking to them reassuring them they can tell me things along with monitoring activity and having proper filters in place.

  53. Roxann says

    May 9, 2014 at 6:51 pm

    My kids are older but I always told them to tell me if anyone was bothering them and I’d take care of it and that they should not bully other people online.

  54. Hesper Fry says

    May 9, 2014 at 6:34 pm

    We will talk it over and explain why it is wrong and also would have online monitoring to help protect.

  55. Melissa Cunningham says

    May 9, 2014 at 3:48 pm

    Make them aware of cyber bullying by discussing it with them

  56. Jessica Ruggiero says

    May 9, 2014 at 2:37 pm

    I will pay close attention to their online activities and discuss this important topic with them!

  57. sammy kim says

    May 9, 2014 at 2:15 pm

    I monitor what she does online.

    • Stephanie says

      May 9, 2014 at 2:24 pm

      Daughter can only have any online account as long as I have access. I watch then regularly.

  58. Charlene S. says

    May 9, 2014 at 1:46 pm

    I supervise my children when they are online.

  59. Kelly Jean says

    May 9, 2014 at 12:05 pm

    I monitor internet usage as well as tv. I check her accounts. We do not have cable just antenna.

  60. sheila fugate says

    May 9, 2014 at 11:19 am

    education …education …education…all of our daughters have had internet access from a young age. We talk about the internet being a good and bad resource. We discuss what can go wrong, how it is a positive factor in our lives and how it can be a destructive factor for our lives. Kids will be kids, to say they will never explore is crazy, but being ahead of the curve is wise and talking about the issues they will encounter is smart. Our daughters goto private Christian school – and it amazes me the parents who think the kids will never “see evil”. Guess what they will – be prepared!

  61. Kate Newton says

    May 9, 2014 at 11:09 am

    My kids are still all very young, so at this point I just lead by example. If we hear someone say something rude whether it is on tv, internet or real life, we always make sure to say ‘that is not a nice way to treat other people is it?’. Eventually we will do the same when they spend more time online. Thanks for the opportunity to win!

  62. Bill U says

    May 9, 2014 at 9:34 am

    My wife handles it!

  63. Pat U. says

    I moniter the grandkids while on the computer…and we I always ask what goes on at school and on the bus and I talk to them about how to treat others..ect

  66. Maggie Hess says

    May 9, 2014 at 7:55 am

    Working in a school being an IT person, bullying has taken many new form and ways to get to children. This would be a great gift to donate to our school. Thank You

    parental controls

  68. vera says

    May 8, 2014 at 11:30 pm

    There are a few good documentaries about cyber bullying that I plan to watch with my children. I also want to go over cyber bully laws with them so they know the consequences and where to find help if for whatever reason they chose not to tell us. As a parent it’s my job to protect my children from being a victim and to also ensure they don’t victimize others.

  69. Robert Lockwood says

    May 8, 2014 at 8:39 pm

    No kids, so I won’t be.

  70. Debra Hall says

    May 8, 2014 at 7:16 pm

    all my kids are grown,but talk to my grandson about it

  71. Jillian T says

    May 8, 2014 at 6:30 pm

    I will supervise him and make sure he is mature enough to understand everything we explain to him.

  72. Jenny Bowen says

    May 8, 2014 at 1:59 pm

    Great game idea!

  73. Lisa E says

    May 8, 2014 at 12:28 pm

    we already talk to him about being nice to people and we watch what his does online, ususally it’s just playing educational games.

  74. margie hanks says

    May 8, 2014 at 10:47 am

    i like that the game talks about bullying being the parent of a child with special needs i hear alot about it.

  75. Jessica Rose says

    May 8, 2014 at 10:23 am

    I would make use of parental controls and passwords lock things that weren’t approved by me. Also have a good chat about internet safety.

  76. Carolyn Daley says

    May 8, 2014 at 10:07 am

    We use parental controls on the computer to prevent them from going on inappropriate websites for their age. I think it is important to inform kids that bullying is never alright. They need to know to inform an adult if they are bullied so measures can be taken to prevent it in the future.

  77. Jenny Q. says

    May 8, 2014 at 9:11 am

    I have the computer in the living room so I can see what they are doing. And we do discuss internet safety.

  78. danielle Marie says

    May 8, 2014 at 1:26 am

    my kids will not have free reign with a computer. we will discuss bullying and why it is wrong and i will keep track of what they are doing online.

  79. Secret Burkheiser says

    May 7, 2014 at 11:22 pm

    I monitor my daughter while she is online. Her browser is also set for only kid approved sites.

  80. Erica C. says

    May 7, 2014 at 9:00 pm

    We monitor usage and encourage open discussion.

  81. Jonathan Brigden says

    May 7, 2014 at 5:36 pm

    Keeping an eye on usage and we monitor the net, so we can see what is going on, then proceed to take action limit the use of certain sites to prevent any problems.

  82. Susan Smith says

    May 7, 2014 at 2:57 pm

    I would limit the sites they could visit, watch what they do online and talk to them about how people should be treated both on and off line.

  83. alena svetelska says

    May 7, 2014 at 11:26 am

    talking to the kids and explaining to them be carefull who u talk to online,and always check while kids r on computer.

  84. Jennifer Lachman says

    May 7, 2014 at 11:37 am

    I try to teach them that when someone is bullying them it is because they feel insecure about themselves. If it ever becomes a major issue with them being bullied or bullying someone else we would have to stay off the internet all together, at least for a little while.

  85. Casey Everidge says

    May 7, 2014 at 7:44 am

    explain everything to them, and i will know their passwords and check on them while theyre on the internet

  86. Angela Cash says

    May 7, 2014 at 7:28 am

    We have discussed cyberbullying with our girls and the computer that they are allowed to use is located in our den so that their online activities can be easily monitored.

  87. Teresa Thompson says

    May 7, 2014 at 5:22 am

    We have already had our experiences with this and we talk to the girls and monitor all internet access.

  88. Danielle says

    May 6, 2014 at 9:27 pm

    We watch what out children do on the internet, give them a time limit, and read through their emails and posts. It is a privilege for them to use the computer and not something that they expect or demand. If something does come up, we address it right away with the children and the parents.

  89. mark brown says

    May 6, 2014 at 5:47 pm

    give them a lot of info and closely monitor

  90. Miranda Kuskie says

    May 6, 2014 at 4:40 pm

    I’ve had numerous conversations with my children about bullies as well as bullying. I make sure those conversations are open in our home so that my kids can always come talk to me no matter what the situation is. Both of my children have been taught to treat EVERYONE with respect and to stand up for those who can’t protect themselves. They know bullying is wrong because I’ve taught them that it’s wrong both in real life and online. We’ve also had big conversations about this as my daughter’s middle school had a shooting this year and it was rumored that the child who committed the shootings had been bullied at school so for my kids they feel very strongly against making anyone feel bad and they try to be nice to everyone.

  91. Kathleen says

    May 6, 2014 at 12:35 pm

    I address bullying with my daughter by explaining why it’s important and how to be kind to everyone. I also tell her to treat others as she would want to be treated. Internet safety isnt something I have discussed with her as I watch her activity like a hawk for now but will address that soon.

  92. Rebecca Orr says

    May 6, 2014 at 11:53 am

    With my son, we are teaching him not to be a bully. To be kind, honest, trustworthy kid. We have taught him that is not okay to hit others or to belittle them. And we have taught him that it is not okay to laugh at another’s expense. He has been taught that if someone bullies him, he is to walk away and alert an adult. He knows that we are always here for him to listen and give advice. He knows we don’t judge him and he knows that anything and everything is open for discussion. He knows we won’t yell at him for certain things. He is easily hurt, so we are making sure all the time that he is doing ok at school.

  93. Katy M says

    May 6, 2014 at 12:56 am

    My daughter is only 5 months old. No telling what dangers will be around when she’s older. I plan to be honest and keep good communication with her. One of the best things my Morris ever did for me was Tell me that if I was ever uncomfortable with things people around me are doing (drinking, shoplifting, breaking rules) that I could call her and there would be no questions asked. I used her offer a few times and it saved me from some really bad decisions. I love that she kept her word and never asked me about the intubation- and just told me she was proud if me for calling her bi hope to do the same for my daughter.

    I don’t have children to teach about bullies.

  97. Stuart Conover says

    May 5, 2014 at 1:50 pm

    As my son is still young it is a combination of monitoring what he is doing and having his access to the Internet slightly locked down. As he grows older it’ll really depend but partial social media monitoring will absolutely be a part of it.

  98. sonya g says

    May 5, 2014 at 9:57 am

    my kids online time is closely monitored

  99. Shanna says

    May 5, 2014 at 9:02 am

    I always have their passwords, and our computer is always in a public place. Everything is very limited, and very monitored.

  100. Linda says

    May 5, 2014 at 8:46 am

    I address cyber bullying by being upfront and explaining the topic and making sure that my kids know that they can come to be about anything that bothers them regarding the internet.

  101. Kari says

    May 5, 2014 at 6:52 am

    My kids are teenagers so we talk about this issue all the time. They know that I will check up on their social media activity at any time and always have to have their passwords, etc.

    Right now, my girls are very limited on the places and things they can do on the internet. They cannot use the internet without a parent present, or use it somewhere we cannot see them. Right now they do not have access to any places where they can experience cyberbullying. At this time, we plan to keep it this way. We will be educating them on the issues and on ways to deal with it. Thank you for the wonderful giveaway! girlygirlugh at gmail dot com

    kids are teens now and on facebook and social sites.and we have had a talk with them since they was really young about treating people the way you want to be treated.and that everyone is equal! it is a hard subject and we just have a conversation with our kids about it to the best we can.

  104. Lisa B says

    May 4, 2014 at 6:05 pm

    I know my children’s passwords and monitor their online activity

  105. Billie @ Rowell Reviews says

    I talk to my son often about the types of things that are imappropriate to post online.

  106. Daniel M says

  108. Green B. says

    May 4, 2014 at 10:55 am

    The important thing is to be open with your kids about the internet, what kind of people are on the internet and the dangers that are out there with strangers and with other kids. You need to talk about what is and what is not okay and don’t just make it one talk, continue to talk about it.

  109. Joseph Stowell says

    May 4, 2014 at 6:11 am

    You teach them from an early age what is proper and what is unacceptable. At an early age, sit down with them while they are using the computer and monitor what they do. As they mature, you can give them more freedom. It takes time and commitment.

  110. Shilo Beedy says

    May 3, 2014 at 7:38 pm

    I tell my kids not to talk to strangers on the computer and not to give out our address or phone number. I make sure my kids don’t bully others online and if they get bullied to let me know.

  111. Mendy Dinsmore says

    May 3, 2014 at 5:18 pm

    I would just talk to them about how you treat others and how they would want to be treated. All schools have a no bullying policy, but they don’t see bullying as others do. So it’s of no use in most cases.

  112. John Stetson says

    May 3, 2014 at 5:12 pm

    I make sure my kids keep reminding their kids about being nice to everyone. They are still too young for social media thank goodness.

  113. Kathleen Downes says

    May 3, 2014 at 2:29 pm

    My son isn’t old enough to engage in social media but he does play games online. I always log him on so I know what he’s playing. But I do tell my son that it is ok to talk to me about anything and that it is not ok for someone to put down others and to name call. I make sure that he feels loved and supported so that he will have a good sense of self worth. I also tell him that when people put down others it is because they feel bad about themselves.

  114. Denise B. says

    May 3, 2014 at 1:35 pm

    I wouldn’t make it out to be an issue. If someone is bothering you, ignore them. We didn’t have these issues back in my day. I think the real issue is parenting nowadays.

  115. Lauren says

    May 3, 2014 at 1:02 pm

    I talk to them about it often and monitor their online activity.

  116. Linda G. says

    May 3, 2014 at 12:55 pm

    My grandson is at the age where he is interested in playing games on the computer, he is monitored while on the computer.

  117. Jacob says

    May 3, 2014 at 11:57 am

    First, I am going to have a talk to him very honestly. Then I am installing an internet monitoring and blocking program

  118. Carol says

    May 3, 2014 at 9:28 am

    My granddaughter is to young for cyberbullying.

  119. Denise S says

    May 3, 2014 at 9:28 am

    I would explain it carefully to them and tell them I was bullied growing up and I turned out fine. Some of those kids that bullied me are dead now or turned out to be losers, so they were not better than me.

  120. Anastasia says

    May 3, 2014 at 7:29 am

    Like bullying in person, with cyberbullying we encourage the kids to talk to us about it and to walk away. Online, it’s a lot easier to just block messages from bullies, delete comments and refuse to engage them. 🙂

  121. Lorri says

    May 3, 2014 at 7:13 am

    The kids cannot keep their devices in their room. We have a check in/check out system. They only use it when we can observe what they are doing. It is hard though, Wifi, the Internet, and technology is everywhere. It is easy to forget someone was using their iPod in the car when you go into a store which as WiFi, and I wish manufactures would develop a lock down system that only allowed ‘Rated’ content to stream to a device. No rating and the page won’t play.

  126. rickel bar says

    May 2, 2014 at 8:13 pm

    we will choose the sites they can visit and discuss bullying

  127. Elizabeth Drake says

    May 2, 2014 at 2:09 pm

    I will monitor any sites that my children go on and in the case of cyberbullying I will report not only on the site on which the bullying is taking place as well as the parents of the child if I know them.

  128. Crimson says

    May 1, 2014 at 11:25 am

    I would keep the lines of communication open – you don’t want there to be any secrets between you or your child when it comes to online activity.

  129. james wallace says

    May 1, 2014 at 12:59 am

    I always monitor all of their activity online and have blocks enabled on my router to prevent websites I do not see fit to be blocked on certain ip address on my network

  130. Sarah L says

  133. Tabathia B says

    April 28, 2014 at 9:17 pm

    I will monitor their online activities and limit sites that they can visit based on age appropriate websites geared toward kids but will probably try to keep them off of facebook and twitter unless it’s family related

  134. Xty Cruz says

    April 28, 2014 at 8:06 pm

    I try to talk to them and be open with what is happening

  135. tammy shelton says

    April 28, 2014 at 4:35 pm

    I’ve taught my kids and grandkids that if they Ever fell threatened in any way to tell an adult immediately. If that adult does not respond properly seek out another adult until you are heard.

  136. Katherine says

    April 28, 2014 at 2:20 pm

    We have talked about it and the computer is always in a public space in our home and I have my childrens passwords

  137. janna johnson says

  138. Taylor Closet says

    April 28, 2014 at 1:16 pm

    I will sit down and have a conversation with my child about bulling and will monitor her internet access as well.

  139. Tempestt says

    April 28, 2014 at 8:44 am

    I set parental controls and tell them not to share personal information online.

  140. Susan Chester says

    April 27, 2014 at 5:34 pm

    I believe in having “open” social networking sites with my family. We can all check each others sites if we want to. This way we can keep tabs on what is going on.

  141. Tamar says

    April 27, 2014 at 10:19 am

    Rafflecopter has been broken for 2 weeks and they don’t care to address it. It says “Follow @ on Twitter,” versus “Follow @username on Twitter.” Maybe it’s time to use Giveaway Tools?

    Anyway to answer your question, I will monitor their online habits very vigorously.

  142. PaulaMS says

    April 27, 2014 at 9:14 am

    My children are grown. I talk my grandchildren about it.

  143. Kelly D says

    April 27, 2014 at 4:01 am

    I use parental controls on my computer and will discourage my kids from signing up for social network sites as they get older.

  144. Brittney House says

    April 26, 2014 at 9:52 pm

    I let my children know how much people lie on the internet and not to believe everything they see.

  145. Steve Stone says

    April 26, 2014 at 8:03 am

    I will monitor what they do on the internet.

  146. Sara says

    April 26, 2014 at 5:20 am

    My child is required to give me all of his passwords and we do not use internet devices except in the living room where mom and dad can monitor what is going on.

  147. Tee T says

    April 26, 2014 at 4:54 am

    we make it very clear that bullying is not allowed – no bad talk out loud or online will be permitted.

  148. Daniel Thornton says

    April 26, 2014 at 1:09 am

    I don’t have children but, if I had children I would not allow them to have a cell phone until they were 16 and tell them not to worry about what people say about them on the internet.

  149. christine jessamine says

    April 25, 2014 at 11:29 pm

    we try to have alot of open discussions with our older kids and encourage them to talk to us as freely as possible on any issues that arise.

  150. Amanda Alvarado says

    April 25, 2014 at 10:28 pm

    Dd is only allowed to visit certain sites and is usually in the room with us when she is on the internet. She’s not old enough yet to be on social media and won’t be for years. She already knows about bullying and cyberbullying will be brought up in the near future.

  151. Selinda says

    April 25, 2014 at 8:21 pm

    We talk about what you should and should not do and monitor what he is doing.

  152. Beth W says

    April 25, 2014 at 9:54 am

    All of the kids I know are a little young but we taught my niece that it isn’t nice to name call because it hurts. Like an owie. Now if a child at school calls her a name she says she got an owie. Lol

  153. Kim Kihega says

    April 25, 2014 at 9:08 am

    I tell them it is the same thing as bullying in person and we have set boundaries for what is acceptable and what isnt.

  154. Danielle Johnson says

    April 25, 2014 at 8:17 am

    AS early as possible, i will tell them it’s unacceptable behavior even if it’s a friend you see doing it. you must prevent it from continuing.

  155. Dawn Monroe says

    April 25, 2014 at 4:56 am

    I have started talking safety with my grandkids, I usally quiz them. They are still little so parental controls are working right now.

  156. Amy L says

    April 24, 2014 at 3:42 pm

    We’ve always had a strict rule that all computer time happens in the living room or kitchen, never in a bedroom. This way we can watch over our children as they use the internet. I think one of the biggest mistake parents make is allowing a child to have a computer in their bedroom.

  157. sandra says

    April 24, 2014 at 2:41 pm

    we’ve already talked about bullying in person. I think it would be much the same online

  158. Kyl Neusch says

    April 24, 2014 at 12:59 pm

    set parental controls

  159. Ashley Tucker says

    April 24, 2014 at 11:30 am

    I would monitor online activity and tell them what cyberbullying is.

  160. RICHARD HICKS says

    April 24, 2014 at 11:24 am

    I tell the kids not to participate if they see it and to tell me about it.

  161. Linda says

    April 24, 2014 at 10:57 am

    Take the time to talk about cyber bullying and make sure that your child understands that she can come to you if she feels uncomfortable about something happening online. I’d also use parental controls to limit/monitor activity.

  162. Lisa smith says

    April 24, 2014 at 10:28 am

    Hopefully when she is of school age, things will calm down by then. But I will do how my parents did for me with regular bullying. Encourage them to talk and fix themselves. Then take steps with the parents. And then principal if need be. And if that doesn’t work, will find a better way I suppose. But keeping in communication with my child… That matters the most!!!!

  163. Thomas Murphy says

    April 24, 2014 at 8:25 am

    I would monitor my child’s online activity and tell them to stand up to bullies.

  164. Darlene Carbajal says

    April 24, 2014 at 8:12 am

    Talk to them about it and what they can/should do.

  165. Amanda Sakovitz says

    April 24, 2014 at 7:29 am

    I explain what cyber bullying is and limit their time online.

  166. Terry Maigi says

    April 24, 2014 at 5:35 am

    I think it is so important to monitor kids internet usage! I will remind my children bullying can come in many forms and I want them to always feel comfortable telling myself or the adult in charge if something is happening that doesnt seem right

  167. latanya says

    April 23, 2014 at 7:31 pm

    April 23, 2014 at 6:03 pm

    My son is still young but some of the games he plays wants him to invite friends or go through Facebook and I simply say the game isn’t for him.

  169. Tari Lawson says

    April 23, 2014 at 5:21 pm

    When my kids were first on the internet, I would monitor them all the time. As they were on various sites, I would talk about internet safety. I don’t monitor them as closely now that they are older, but I still talk to them about being safe on the internet and discuss things like phishing and protecting their personal information.

  170. Elle says

    April 23, 2014 at 1:49 pm

    You need to address the issue head on and explain what is and what is not acceptable and you need to keep an open line of communication so that your child feels safe coming to you with an concerns.

  171. Ann Fantom says

    April 23, 2014 at 7:56 am

    I address cyberbullying and internet safety with my daughter by discussing these issues frequently when we see stories on the news.

  172. Ashley Bree Perez says

    April 23, 2014 at 7:44 am

    I would definitely address the issue when they are young children and let them know that cyber bullying is wrong and provide them with examples of that. Treat others the way you want to be treated is my motto.

  173. Mya Murphy says

    April 23, 2014 at 1:32 am

    I could never have any children, but I would teach them to walk away first, and if that doesn;t help, stand up for yourself.

  174. jose benavides says

    April 22, 2014 at 10:37 pm

    I have done it by already talking to them about it and they don’t use the internet yet ..

  175. DEBIJOT says

    April 22, 2014 at 9:13 pm

    We discuss bullying and monitor internet usage.

  176. FRANK says

    Monitor their activity on the internet

  177. Cassandra Eastman says

    April 22, 2014 at 9:02 pm

    I will try to teach it by letting my children know they can talk to me about anything, and show them at a young age how to treat others. I’ll also keep track of which sites they visit and their passwords.

  178. nicole dz says

    April 22, 2014 at 8:56 pm

    We monitor there online activities and they have restrictions, they aren’t old enough to be on any social media, so that helps. We teach our kids the importance of bullying and we let them know how to deal with it if it happens.

  179. Sharon Kaminski says

    April 22, 2014 at 6:20 pm

    We teach respect and if you have respect for your schoolmates you will not bully anyone.

  180. Annalisa K says

    April 22, 2014 at 6:20 pm

    I’ve warned my children that what is said online is just as hurtful as to someone’s face. Also I told them to let me know ASAP if anyone at all bullies or disturbs them online.

  181. Michele P. says

    April 22, 2014 at 6:15 pm

    I monitor my daughter’s internet activity, we have frequent talks about bullying.

  182. Helen Keeler says

    April 22, 2014 at 5:42 pm

    I monitor Dorie’s activities on the computer. We also talk about bulling and what she should do.

  183. Patricia Wojnar Crowley says

    April 22, 2014 at 5:39 pm

    We have had a lot of conversations about what behavior is appropriate online. Also, our computer stays in the family room, so we can keep track of what’s going on.

  184. ken smith says

    April 22, 2014 at 5:36 pm

    We talk about it every time we get its a dangerous thing.

  185. Meghan Malicoat says

    April 22, 2014 at 5:28 pm

    My kids are still very young but I hope to teach them not to be the type of people who will not bully others as well as to teach them what to do if they are in the situation of being bullied. I also plan to closely monitor their internet activity as well as set up parental controls.

  186. kim says

    April 22, 2014 at 4:21 pm

    I monitor my kids internet usage the computer is in the living room not in their bedrooms and I talk to them about how it feels to be bullied and how we shouldn’t bully other people and when there is new stories on tv about internet bullying that went horribly wrong I have them watch it with me so we can talk about what happened

  187. June S. says

    April 22, 2014 at 1:39 pm

    Children should always know that Cyber Bulling is a real problem, and they should know that it is wrong. They should be told to treat others as you would want to be treated. Just because someone is a little different then you, does not give you the right to bully or be mean to them.

  188. harolde says

    April 22, 2014 at 1:16 pm

    My granddaughter is still too young for that, but I will explain the dangers and what to look out for online.

  195. Cynthia C says

    April 22, 2014 at 10:04 am

    I would limit the sites they could visit and talk to them about how people should be treated both on and off line.

  196. Birdiebee says

    April 22, 2014 at 9:45 am

    First, the kids must use the computer in the family room only when there is a parent in the room. Secondly, we do not let the kids connect to social media websites such as Facebook. Thirdly, we do not allow the kids to text message on their phones. Lastly, we have family discussions about cyber bullying as well as why it is important to be safe while on the internet.

  197. Scott Martin says

    April 22, 2014 at 9:42 am

    I have always had conversations with them about the protections on the computer and why I limit their access.

  198. steve weber says

    April 22, 2014 at 9:27 am

  202. April Brenay says

    April 22, 2014 at 8:37 am

    we teach out children that words can hurt, and we try to limit their internet time and record everything they do while on the internet

    We have nanny ware… AND we never let the kids use the computer when we are not there. It must always be in public space.

  206. Dana Rodriguez says

    April 22, 2014 at 7:25 am

    I don’t have any children but I think it is very important to monitor your child’s online activity.

  207. Sandy Cain says

    April 22, 2014 at 7:06 am

    You have to monitor your kids online activity carefully. If that “invades their privacy” – too bad! Too many tragedies have occurred due to cyber-bullying. (And schoolyard bullying, too).

  208. Marcie W. says

    April 22, 2014 at 7:26 am

    My kids are still pretty young, so them socializing on the internet is still a few years away. That being said, bullying is a zero tolerance subject around our home! They know it is absolutely unacceptable to bully someone and are also aware to tell us if anyone tries to bully them. The same will apply for cyber bullying once they are introduced to social media!

  209. Denise says

    April 22, 2014 at 5:15 am

    Having the computer in a public space with access times – but speaking with them candidly about the issue

  210. Natalie says

    April 21, 2014 at 9:18 pm

    My child is to young for cyberbullying but I have researched the topic quite a bit.

  214. D Schmidt says

    April 21, 2014 at 6:15 pm

    My children are very little so we have not had to address this issue yet but I have been doing a lot of research so that I am fully aware of how to do so.

  215. Jennifer Hayden says

    April 21, 2014 at 6:13 pm

    I am a social worker working with middle school kids so this is perfect! In middle school, lots of kids are just getting into the cyber world. I educate them about how to keep themselves safe when they are online and what to do when people are bullying them or acting inappropriately.

  216. Margaret Smith says

    April 21, 2014 at 5:41 pm

    We talk to our kids about how to handle different situations and that cyber bullying is not allowed. We also monitor our kids when they are on the computer.

    We Monitor Internet Usage, We Have Talks About Internet Safety And Cyber Bullying, We Have Read Stories In The Media And Used Them As Examples Of These Situations To Help Teach Our Kids What Is Right And Wrong.

    We try to address as we hear/see it (news stories). I think always talking about it and being updated on what’s going in at school helps tons!

    my nieces and nephews have been taught that everyone has feelings and just b/c they don’t like someone else doesn’t mean that that person isn’t worth loving. we use the thumper rule alot and when I taught school, that seemed to hit home with all kids and when I added keep all body parts and other objects to yourself, they seemed to obey that better than other rules. teenagers are best taught keeping it simple.

    plus my kids know that if they ever go online (or in person) ad bully anyone that they would be shamed in front of everyone who matters – church, frends, grandparents.

    We don’t let the kids in any site unless we put them on ourselves or are right there with them . We have talked to them often about bullying to begin with and hopefully we can prevent this.
