A free single-session lesson on a word that gets used for everything and therefore means very little.

Most people think cyberbullying means somebody was unkind online. The federal definition is narrower: three parts, all of which have to be present. Your student learns the test and applies it to eight situations, sorting genuine conflict from a pattern, and a pattern from something more serious.

A narrower definition is a more useful one. Calling everything cyberbullying makes it harder to get help when it genuinely applies — and gives your student language a school, a platform or the police will recognize.
