==After watching //"Cyberbully",// respond to two of the questions below at length. This is a summative assessment for Wikis. You need to be specific, detailed, and in final copy. Some questions don't require a large answer, but be sure to elaborate by making a connection to the movie. In your title, write "Questions 1 & 2" or whichever questions you chose. **Post is due by Tuesday, October 18th**. ==

What do you think of these three action steps? Easy to do? What stands in your way of doing something?
 * 1) Taylor initially thinks her mom doesn’t trust her to go online: she uses computer monitoring software and doesn’t allow her to have internet on her phone. Do you think that is too strict? Not strict enough? Explain.
 * 2) Taylor’s family has rules about online behavior: No giving out personal information, no inappropriate sites, etc. What rules did she break? What rules, if any, do your parents or families have about your online behavior?
 * 3) At first, Taylor seems uncomfortable filling out her Cliquester profile because it asks personal information (like the color of her underwear). She even wonders “What’s this point of answering these questions if they aren’t true?” Why do you think she joined Cliquester anyway?
 * 4) Scott thinks Cliquester is “raw” because “People talk trash on it and it’s kinda funny.” Why do you think we like seeing other people being brutally honest with each other online?
 * 5) Why didn’t Taylor close her Cliquester account?
 * 6) Even though Taylor was getting bullied, she seemed addicted to finding out what people were saying about her. Why do you think she was determined to read all the rumors even though she was hurt by them?
 * 7) Taylor’s mom goes to the school to complain about her daughter’s bullying and the principal feels torn because there isn’t much he can legally do about it. What do you think schools should be doing about bullying?
 * 8) At Taylor’s group therapy, they point out three things you can do about cyberbullying:
 * Print out everything. Save the evidence.
 * Block the sender.
 * Speak up and tell an adult you trust
