Here is a song we put together to help people learn how to beat cyberbullying and stay safe online. It is called:
“Be Kind On-Line” and the music & lyrics are by Bruce Langford. The song is copyright 2008. The words are below.
1. Online chatting, text messages and e-mails
This is how we check on social details
Try to be friendly, don’t put people down
This is my advice – now spread it around.
Be kind, online.
2. Words you use on line are not as private as you think
Stuff that you sent can be found out in a wink
Screens can be printed, captured or saved
You could get in trouble for the way you behaved.
Be kind, online.
3. If you show true respect for other people online
You’re showing how we all should be all the time
It’s likely that your friends will start doing it too
‘Cause you’ll set an example of what people should do.
Be kind, online.
4. You likely will become the person people respect
Never really knowing how many you effect
Just ‘cause you made up your mind to be fair
You’re helping kids here, there and everywhere.
Be kind, online.
Just try to be kind on-line.
