CJ and Jess bump into each other at the park after school. They
both agreed to meet someone at the exact same spot at the exact same
time. What a pain – they barely know each other except they
share the same Maths class. They definitely run in different circles.
When they eventually start talking to each other, they discover
each of their dark secrets of cyber bullying and it is revealed,
to their mutual dismay, that they have become victims as well as
perpetrators!
From the same company and writer who brought “Bully Busters” to
Melbourne schools.
The play explores all facets of electronic bullying, including:
- Internet
- Emails
- Web Sites
- Social Networking
- Chat Rooms
- Mobile phones
- Text messages
Issues tackled:
- How to prevent Cyber bullying
- Friendship
- Self-Esteem
