**Scene Two:** 90% of kids have had their feelings hurt online. 75% have said mean things about another student.

Scene Three: ****chat rooms and social networks are the likeliest places where cyberbullies find their victims. ****   **** Report cyberbullying to the CyberTipline.com or call ﻿1-800-843-5678"  ****

Possible consider a blank screen during initial narration? Presence of video seems to make announcement of forms of cyberbullying superfluous. Depending on how the video looks, we can discuss this at a later date. The "you are not alone shot" can be text on black screen or video of all 3 students saying this together. Decision nonessential. -Lyndon

Possible to say all three announcements at the same time in one sentence

We can flash them but to save time we'd have to distill/condense them and probably interspersed between scenes. This way we can do 2 or more related statements per card, with each statement appearing every 2-3 seconds.

<span style="color: #000080; display: block; font-family: Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif;">E.g. (and these can be rephrased or condensed even further) <span style="color: #000080; display: block; font-family: Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif;">Facts about cyberbullying: <span style="color: #000080; font-family: Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">1. More than 1/3 (or 58%?) of kids have been bullied online. 1/5 (or >40%?) of them more than once. <span style="color: #000080; font-family: Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">2. 9 out of 10 middle school students have had their feelings hurt, <span style="color: #000080; font-family: Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">3. 3 out of 4 kids have said mean things about another student. <span style="color: #000080; font-family: Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">4. 40% of middle school students have been locked out of their online account by someone who stole and changed their password. <span style="color: #000080; font-family: Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">5. Cyberbullying is bullying. The difference is that cyberbullies do not stop even when you get home. <span style="color: #000080; font-family: Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">6. Chat rooms are the number one place where cyberbullies find their victims. <span style="color: #000080; font-family: Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">7. Girls are two times more likely to be victims of cyberbullies. <span style="color: #000080; font-family: Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">8. Cyberbullying is happening more each year as more kids get on the internet.

"DO SOMETHING!" Report cyberbullying to the CyberTipline.com or call ﻿1-800-843-5678 -Jeff Jeff, I like that Idea of having them appear between scenes.

Again, time constraints are in play here. If we are in need of more video footage we can definitely consider splicing in statistical shots to emphasize our message. Let's start with the basics first though and work from there. -Lyndon
