embarrass someone on the internet You want them to feel sad or angry…it

gives you a sense of “power” You are bored You want to get them back for something

that they did to you. Because you can do this and not have to

tell who you are. You hide behind the computer screen.

mean to people is not funny.

THINK before you say or do anything online…once it is sent it cannot be taken back.

Feelings are important, you must respect other people’s feeling . Don’t you want them to do that for you?

Take 5! - put down the mouse and step away from the computer. Go throw a baseball, run outside, read a book….just walk away.
