Richard Pau's Duck Sense Middle School Bully Prevention assembly program, "Think Before you Click", implements humor, ventriloquism, audience interaction and a game show grand finale to explain why cyber bullying is wrong, how it can hurt both the target and the bully for life, why it may never go away, what you can do if you are a target of cyber bullying, how to make report and the legal ramifications.

At the beginning of the assembly Richard opens with a hands-on funny example that involves most of the audience. Through this hilarious activity they come to understand quickly that what you send out on line can be uploaded anywhere in the world and in most cases never goes away. They discover that even though they try to clear it, someone, somewhere still has the information, and it could haunt the bully in the future when they are looking to attend the school of their choice or future employment opportunities.

Through real cyber bullying stories from both former targets and bullies they will come to understand the cruelty and the seriousness of their actions.

Twitter, Facebook, Google, My Space, Verizon, and more have protectors in place to help Cyber Bully Targets. Richard will not only explain these procedures, he will also supply the school with a handout that includes information from these social media outlets and other local, state and federal agencies that offer help to cyber victims and targets.
