Cyberbullying Presentation Monday Night

By Michelle Murdock, Freelance Writer

What Parents Need To Know About Cyberbullying
Monday, March 14th
7pm - 9pm
Hopkinton High School Auditorium

A Massachusetts Aggression Reduction Center study recently found that at least 30 percent or as many as 60 percent of teens have been cyberbullied, that is, bullied online or via cell phone. Most of those who were bullied reported that they did not tell their parents, who may be unaware it is occurring or the means by which students are able to engage in cyberbullying.

As one part of a joint effort to protect children from all forms of bullying, the Hopkinton Public Schools Wellness Committee and Main Street Pediatrics is presenting What Parents Need to Know about Cyberbullying on Monday, March 14th from 7:00 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. in the Hopkinton High School auditorium. Presenter Assistant District Attorney Nina Pomponio will provide information about the means by which students engage in cyberbullying, how to detect if it is occurring and how parents can prevent it.

To listen as Assistant Superintendent Mary Colombo tells why she thinks it is important for parents to attend, watch the HCAM News interview below.
