Scenario #3

Lindsay has just moved to town from Oregon. Bonnie, one of the 5th grade girls in her new class is jealous of Lindsay because she is very pretty, outgoing, and funny. Bonnie starts to worry that Lindsay might steal away her group of friends, so she decides to create a "We Hate Lindsay" Web site. She tells all her friends about the site and encourages the girls to post reasons why they hate Lindsay on the site and why they think she should move back to Oregon. Soon, the entire 5th grade becomes aware of the site's Web address, and many others begin to post hurtful messages about Lindsay. Desperately wanting to make friends in a new town, Lindsay is crushed and no longer wants to go to school.

With your group please discuss the following questions:
If you were Lindsay's mom or dad, what would you do?
What might the school do to help Lindsay?
If you were her best friend, what might you say or do to help?

Please share your answers by posting a comment below.
