Kalan- Victim NaTarra- Bully Brenna- By Stander/Friend

(Ring Tone) Kalan: (look at cell phone) I can't believe this!

Brenna: What?

Kalan: Read this baloney! This is ridiculous! Why is she so hurtful?

Brenna: She doesn't know your situation. Don't let her get to you.

Kalan: She has already gotten to me!

Brenna: Well, don't say anything back or do anything dumb, or you'll soon be the bully. If you want to do something, tell a teacher or your parents. Let the adults take care of her.

(Other side of school)

NaTarra: (on cell phone) Haha! He is so easy to get to. I look forward to this every day. That was so funny last year when I told everyone he had a crush on the teacher, and he ran to the bathroom crying! He is such a baby! Okay, what should I say to him today? "You are a total loser! No body wants you alive. Go die in a hole.Can't you tell that no one likes you?"

Kalan: (Ring tone) (Look at phone) Look at what she said now. She said I should go die in a hole!

Brenna: Maybe you should tell somebody about this.

Kalan: Yeah, or I could take her advice and go die in a hole.

Brenna: Don't even say something like that! I'm going to tell a teacher right now!

Kalan: NO! I don't want people to think that I am a tattle tail! (Receives another text) (Look at phone) Kalan: (Reads text out loud) "Don't tell anyone about this, or I'll kill you!" Can you believe she said that?

Brenna: You really should tell someone about it, but don't let anyone know you told someone!

NaTarra: (talking to herself) Haha! He will do anything I say! I could make him my personal slave, and he wouldn't tell anyone!

Brenna: Cyberbullying is a major problem today, and a lot of kids commit suicide because of it. This is why I'm telling you not to let it get to you. Are you listening?

Kalan: (Standing there blankly; doesn't respond) (Devils and angels standing on shoulders)

-Devil: Just let everything sink in. Everything she texts you, is for a reason. You were meant to die in high school. Go home and hang yourself. -Angel: Don't let her get to you! She needs to be confronted. This is not the time to end your life! Don't let her interfere with your life!

Brenna: (Slaps Kalan across face) LISTEN TO ME! Don't do anything stupid!

NaTarra: (Narrator) (Can't see her, just her voice) This is an example of cyberbullying. If you or someone you know is being cyberbullied, tell someone! Many teens are committing suicide every day because they are not treated right. We can make a difference. Stop the bullies before it gets too far. We need to monitor technology when it comes to the children of America. There are many effects of cyberbullying. Teens can end up killing themselves, harming themselves, or harming others. These are major! This is an issue worth solving.
