In this mission you will begin by exploring a scenario from the TV show //Friday Night Lights// in which a teen girl creates a hate website about another girl. You will take the perspective of different characters and brainstorm alternative decisions each character could have made. Finally, you will discuss what actions they can take when they encounter online cruelty in your own life, including how to be an upstander. //(Note: The term online cruelty encompasses what is often referred to as “cyberbullying,” but it covers a broader range of behaviors and may speak more effectively to teens than the term cyberbullying. We use the term online cruelty throughout this lesson.)// //In your mission you will://
