#UP2US to stop cyberbullying, say students

Material to help get teenagers to teach themselves and their friends how to deal with cyberbullying is on its way to second-level schools.

The #UP2US anti-bullying kit challenges young people to find new ways to stand up to bullying through the internet and social media, and many schools are already taking a lead in this area.

Among them are students of Bishopstown Community School, whose Cybersafe initiative has seen them develop a wristband aimed at raising awareness and showing solidarity with cyberbullying victims.
