"Cyberbullying," or using Facebook and other social media sites to harass someone, has been in the news lately after some bullied students took their lives. To learn more about this trend, and what parents can do about it, consider attending a meeting titled "Cyberbullying: What Parents Need to Know" from 6-7:30 p.m. Monday, November 29, in Iowa City Public Library meeting rooms A, B and C.
Dr. Justin Patchin, co-director of the Cyberbullying Research Center, will discuss cyberbullying, how it affects children, why awareness is important, and how parents can get involved.
This free event is co-sponsored by the City and West High Parent Student Teacher Organizations, the Iowa City Community School District and MECCA.
