Bullying Prevention Program - Student Services / Prevention and ...

Divide the group into small groups of four to five and ask students to use the REACT process
to determine appropriate responses to the following scenarios.
Scenarios:
1. Mark has been receiving e-mails with the message, “I’m coming to get you.” The e-mail address is
not familiar. Mark thinks a friend is trying to scare him. When he asks his friends, no one admits to
sending the e-mail. One evening when Mark is home alone, he begins to receive the following e-mail
messages every 5 minutes: “I’m coming to get you tonight.” “I’m bringing someone with me.” “We can
see you through the window.”
How do you think Mark is feeling?
Is this cyber bullying? Why or why not?
What can Mark do? (Use the steps that are appropriate for this situation.)
