High School freshmen year is a critical time because: your child still needs you and your guidance
What happens in 9th grade serves as the social and academic foundation for later years
Conformity with and acceptance by the peer group Having the “right” or “in” clothing or hairdo becomes
particularly important The concept of “us and them” (“Us” becomes THE
priority) Fear of ridicule and/or being unpopular Drawn to positive feedback, avoiding negative
judgment
Beginning to develop individuality
Strong attitudes towards social issues emerge
Try to be independent in front of friends but still
needs parental support
Transitioning from middle school to high school can be overwhelming, particularly for those already struggling socially and academically
Ask your student about school
Listen without judgment
Know your student’s academic abilities and struggles and monitor your students’ academic progress
Interact with your student’s friends - keep yourself in the loop
Advocate for your student by contacting teachers and counselors
Provide guidance in spite of resistance
Cyber bullying involves using technology, like cell phones and the Internet, to bully or harass another person
Cyber bullying is a form of teen violence that can do lasting harm to young people. Bullying statistics show that cyber bullying is a serious problem among teens
Around half of teens have been the victims of cyber bullying
Only 1 in 10 teens tells a parent if they have been a cyber bully victim
Fewer than 1 in 5 cyber bullying incidents are reported to law enforcement
About 1 in 5 teens have posted or sent sexually suggestive or nude pictures of themselves to others
A variety of mediums and tactics:
Online social networking sites
Text messages
Emails
Sexting &/or photo sharing
Hacking into someone’s account
Threats/rumors/harassment
Impersonation
• Cyber bullying has caused, directly and indirectly, several teen suicides nationwide
• Most cyber bullying cases happen off school campus but are very disruptive to school life
• There is often little adult or legal monitoring in cyber land
