  34. The Church’s Viewpoint John McCranie: Arizona Minister “Technology has its advantages and disadvantages. Ways of how it is being used does impact relationships, life, and a person’s soul. If it is used in a negative way, it affects a great deal of people, especially if a person’s self-worth is diminished.” http://www.christianchronicle.org/blog/2010/11/qa-arizona-minister-talks-about-cyberbullying-and-the-church/

  35. Church’s Viewpoint • “In some cases, teens are not fully aware of their behaviors -- that they are actually causing hurt to others whether it is via cyberbullying or direct emotional and verbal abuse.”

  36. Church’s Viewpoint • Having a Christ-like sensitivity and empowering approach is essential to help bring healing. The church has a unique message in this: God is best at telling us how valued we are when bullies seek to destroy our self-image.”

  37. Conclusion • Ethical and Moral Solutions – laws only help so much • Must act to stop cyberbullying, and teach students not to do it.

  38. Conclusion • For example, pretend you’re a parent. Your child is at risk of getting cyberbullied (like anyone). Would you constantly monitor their online activities? Or give them freedom on the web? 37

  39. conclusion Remember Megan Meier. Remember Ryan Halligan. Remember everyone else – maybe even you – whose lives have been affected. 35
