  The
Week in Digital Media & Learning

The launch of Lady Gaga’s youth empowerment initiative, Born This Way
Foundation<http://e2ma.net/go/11014018560/208877516/232796316/1407683/goto:http://bornthiswayfoundation.org/>,
and the popularity of the documentary “
Bully<http://e2ma.net/go/11014018560/208877516/232796317/1407683/goto:http://thebullyproject.com/>,”
which chronicles the 2009-10 school year in the lives of three harassed
youth, have sparked a number of conversations about the very definition of
bullying and what schools, families and society can do to help ensure all
students feel safe and welcomed for who they are.

New York Times columnist Nicholas Kristof joins the effort with an essay
contest<http://e2ma.net/go/11014018560/208877516/232796318/1407683/goto:http://kristof.blogs.nytimes.com/2012/04/07/teen-essay-contest-on-bullying/>.
Open to teens age 14 to 19, Kristof is seeking submissions of up to 500
words about bullying or how to address it. The contest’s partners include The
New York Times Learning
Network<http://e2ma.net/go/11014018560/208877516/232796319/1407683/goto:http://learning.blogs.nytimes.com/>and
Teen
Ink magazine<http://e2ma.net/go/11014018560/208877516/232796320/1407683/goto:https://www.teenink.com/KristofContest/>,
which will select the finalists. Kristof will choose the winners. The
deadline is April 30.

Meanwhile, danah boyd, a research fellow at the Born This Way Foundation,
wrote an important column for the Wall Street
Journal<http://e2ma.net/go/11014018560/208877516/232796321/1407683/goto:http://blogs.wsj.com/ideas-market/2012/04/10/five-misunderstandings-about-bullying/>identifying
“five aspects of bullying that must be broadly understood in
order to move from awareness to action.” She notes, for example, that
cyberbullying has become “an unnecessary distraction,” and she explains why
anti-bullying assemblies and the messages of advocates are often ignored.

“Teens don’t recognize most of the meanness and cruelty they witness or
experience as bullying; they see it as drama, teasing or pranking. Students
do recognize certain serious encounters as bullying, but they often lack
the social, structural and educational infrastructure to make a
difference,” writes boyd, adding that the most effective programs require
long-term commitments and community involvement.

“If we want to create a kinder, braver world, we must collectively work to
develop compassion, empathy and respect.”
