Many types of harassment and/or bullying can take place on social media platforms. Platforms where bullying can occur include internet websites/apps with free and easy registration, websites/apps offering peer-to-peer messaging, websites/apps offering comment sections/forums, and websites offering image or video posting platforms. Below are some examples of social media platforms where this type of behavior may occur.
School Climate/Social Emotional Learning

Social-emotional learning describes the mindsets, skills, attitudes, and feelings that help students succeed in school, career, and life. It focuses on how motivation, social connectedness, and self control enable every student to learn and thrive.
We owe it to students to provide them with not just academic knowledge, but with the skills they need to apply that knowledge in all settings, throughout their lives, with confidence and security.
To learn more, watch this video from CASEL, a leading social-emotional learning organization supporting school districts: SEL 101: What Are the Core Competencies and Key Settings?
Building Social-Emotional Learning Competencies
The CASEL framework addresses five areas that are fundamental to SEL competence. These skills are important for collaboration and perspective-taking, and serve students well in school and in life. By building skills in these areas, students manage their emotions, handle challenges, and reach their goals.
5 Social-Emotional Learning Competencies:
- Self-awareness: the ability to recognize one’s strengths and limitations with a sense of confidence and purpose
- Self-management: the ability to manage one’s feelings and behavior, including handling stress
- Social awareness: the ability to understand the perspectives of others, including those from diverse backgrounds
- Relationship skills: the ability to communicate clearly, listen actively, and work collaboratively to problem solve
- Responsible decision-making: the ability to evaluate the benefits and consequences of various actions

Growth Mindset & Goal Setting Resources
- Teaching your child about how the brain works. Every time you try something new or practice something (anything from homework to sports to a new hobby), your child's brain is making new connections that make that task easier they next time they do it.
- Modeling a growth mindset for your student. Yep, kids learn from watching us. You can model your thoughts when you are working through something tough by saying, "This is hard, but I will keep trying" or "I am not sure I can do this yet, but I am learning and improving every time."
- Sharing your mistakes. When you make a mistake, talk to your child about it. Show them that mistakes aren't failures, they are an opportunity for growth.
