What is “Stick Up”?

A short one-minute film based on my personal expeirence being cyberbullied by lacrosse teammates, combined with a proposed curriculum for high school students.

Problem

Combining awareness of cyberbullying among high school students, particularly those just transitioning from middle school, and how to navigate using social media after being cyberbullied.

Solution

The one minute film is based on my lived experiences with cyberbullying. Activities for the proposed curriculum include Digital Boundaries Mapping, "Reclaiming Your Voice" Journaling, and Empathy Roleplay.
