Strengthening Cyberbullying Intervention Laws in Massachusetts: A Petition for Change
In a world where digital communication is becoming ever more prevalent, the need to protect individuals, particularly young people, from the harmful effects of cyberbullying is more pressing than ever. Our very own Leo Lim, a dedicated student at St. Mark’s School and the Sports section editor of Core Connect Media, has taken a crucial step in addressing this issue by launching a petition to strengthen cyberbullying intervention laws in Massachusetts.
Leo’s petition calls for a more robust legal framework that not only addresses the aftermath of cyberbullying but also ensures more proactive intervention by schools and institutions. With the rise in online harassment cases, it is clear that current laws and school policies are often insufficient to protect students from the psychological and emotional damage inflicted by cyberbullying.
By signing this petition, you are joining a movement to create a safer digital environment for students and others across Massachusetts. Strengthened cyberbullying laws could lead to:
- Better prevention measures in schools and online platforms
- Mandatory intervention strategies for students affected by cyberbullying
- Legal consequences for perpetrators that go beyond just temporary suspensions
- Increased resources for educators, parents, and students to combat this issue
The petition is rapidly gaining traction, but it needs more support to reach critical mass. Your voice can help make a tangible difference.

Together, we can ensure that our laws evolve with the times and provide adequate protection for everyone in the digital age. Let’s stand against cyberbullying and make Massachusetts a leader in online safety.
