By Janaya Reid
Dunn Student Journalist
Recently, the issue of cyber bullying has sky rocketed across the nation and in the media. Many teens are unaware as to the severe affects name calling and verbal abuse has on another. In an attempt to inform and educate the student body, each dorm recently hosted a residential chat for the underclassmen. This chat included the definition of cyber bullying and its consequences. Students shared stories and ideas along with asking questions. Faculty members explained sexting, and the different scenarios where technology can cause various issues. Cyber bullying has become a serious world-wide epidemic. Often times the definition of bullying is confused and is not taken very seriously by peers however by confronting the issue Dunn School is informing the community to help stop any incidents in the future.
