 Do you know what AYSOS means? Most parents don't. It's online shorthand for are you stupid or something, a message most kids don't want to receive. Parents can find this definition in the Parents Guide to Internet Slang on the Erase Bullying website. With over 35 links to resources, the Erase Bullying website also serves as a portal connecting parents and youth to a broad range of programs, organizations, and information. Parents and youth will have access to vital information on bullying. It lists the risk factors and warning signs so parents know exactly what to watch out for. And there are tips for parents to learn how to talk to children about bullying. Youth can find information on what to do if they're being bullied or if they've witnessed bullying. And there's special information on youth suicide, how to talk to your friends who need help, and what to do if you need help. The website links to a new online reporting tool and easy to use, secure, and anonymous way for targets and witnesses to report a bullying incident. Choosing to report bullying is not an easy decision for a child to make, especially if they fear retaliation from their peers. They need a safe place where they can anonymously report bullying when and where they want. The Erase Bullying reporting tool helps to meet that need. It can be accessed from any smartphone, mobile device, or from the privacy of a home computer. The first thing that students see when they go to the online tool is a reminder that if this is an emergency or if they need immediate help to seek out a trusted adult or contact the children's help line. As students then begin to file a report by entering their city and school, this is essential information to ensure the correct school-safe coordinator is alerted. The student is then asked to identify the type of bullying, verbal, physical, social, or cyber, and a general description of the incident. On the next screen, the information is more specific and completely optional. Students fill out as much information as they are comfortable with. They can include their name, the location and date of the incident, or their contact information. Any information collected is solely for the school district and protected by the BC privacy legislation. Once the student sends the report, a school-safe coordinator receives an alert. The coordinator will assess the details included in the report and decide the best course of action. A child will only be contacted if they have indicated that they want to be contacted. The coordinator will choose the best course of action for each incident. They will alert school principals or reach out to police or other community partners to address the specific incident. With a centralized view, the coordinator will identify trends, monitor hotspots, and use the data to help focus prevention strategies where they are needed most. Some secrets aren't worth keeping. The Erase Bullying Reporting Tool makes it easier for students to take a stand against bullying.
