They think theyre here to take part in a focus group. They dont know that their moms are joining me in our watchmobile, parked just outside. Jayden is a very good student, she is a very good friend. Reporter jaydens mother says her daughter has been the victim of cyberbullying. Some kids made an Instagram Page and they put pictures of people that they hate that day. And jaydens picture was on there. Reporter colettes mom says her daughter has also suffered bullying. There was a young man who was coming over to her where she was at her locker, and telling her she should kill herself. And i contacted the school. And how did the school handle the situation . It stopped, so im assuming they got in touch with the boys parents. Reporter so how will these two girls react when they see someone else bullied face to face, and on the internet . I think shes going to know the right thing is to speak up, but im afraid that shes going to be like most 13yearolds and not be able to find her voice. Phyllis, what about colette . From her personality, i would predict that she would definitely speak up. Okay, are you ready to see how they do . Sure, yeah. Hi, im jayden. Im on instagram, vine, tumblr. Reporter the kids are all in the room, being interviewed for what they think is our pop culture focus group. Then, the visible cameras leave, but our hidden cameras keep rolling.

Theyre super concentrated so i get a better clean. 15 cleaning ingredients or 90 . Dont pay for water, pay for clean. Thats my tide. Reporter were watching these actors play out a familiar and upsetting scene. Bullies picking on someone they think is vulnerable. In this case, they tease our victim also an actor about his weight. Jeff, what about you . Who is your favorite Youtube Channel person . Besides, like, food network. Reporter stuck in the middle are two unsuspecting teens 14 year old colette and 13 year old jayden. They have no idea these mean kids are actors, as they lob zingers at our overweight victim. Jlaw from hunger games, which jeff has never had to deal with in his life. Theyre starting to ratchet up the bullying. Everything is fat jokes. Reporter the bullies compare him to a bloated movie character. Do you like charlie and the chocolate factory, jeff . Jeff based his costume today off of the girl who plays the blueberry girl. And theyre also getting uncomfortable. I think theyre getting thats why they look at their phone all the time. Reporter but the girls cant avoid the bullying on their phones either. Our actors are going after our victim online too. The kids are using their phones to rate some viral videos as part of our focus group. When our victim says he likes this video, featuring weird al soups on i really liked the weird al one reporter our bully pounces and starts cyberbullying. He sends a mean message to everyone in the group except our victim. The girls dont know it, but were following their online conversation from our watchmobile. Our actor, the bully, hes like, oh yeah, this guy thought weird al was the funniest, probably because its the only one including food. Reporter the girls see the message. Jayden totally saw the one about the boy. Because she looked at him, and she was wondering if he saw it. Reporter will they be tempted to join the cyberbullies . Or will they speak up for our victim . Their moms watch anxiously. Are they just not responding . Reporter the girls begin typing. And its not to defend our victim. They chime in with the bullies. Ok, so jayden said hes annoying me. Oh, see . And colettes like omg, wow, lmao. Laugh my tushie off reporter their online conversation continues. It seems this is where the girls feel safe confiding. But remember as part of our ruse we interviewed them on camera earlier. And suddenly they get worried theyre being recorded right now. They say nothing in the room, but online okay, so jayden wrote omg guys we have to stop being mean to jeff, theyre definitely recording us. So shes worried about being recorded. So shes doesnt mind being mean, she just doesnt wanna do it on camera. Yeah. Thats a conversation. Reporter jayden follows up with omg guys, were so evil. Clearly theyre saying, lets stop this conversation, which is a good thing. But it seems to me that came from more out of fear. Or getting caught. Of getting caught. Reporter in the room, the body language is clear our victim is iced out. Theyre excluding him completely. Its so disturbing. That she wouldnt be more sensitive to the fact that hes being excluded, when she herself has been excluded at times. Jeff, youve got to contribute something, man. Reporter but as our victim shuts down, jayden seems to really feel for him. She doesnt say anything to the bullies face to face, but pushes back online. I honestly feel bad. Hes so quiet. Im just like ugh, bad person. She feels bad about it. Hi reporter its time to let the kids know whats really going on. Okay . Did you guys all Work Together as a team . Yup, some of them we had struggles with well, youre not really here for the focus group. Were actually doing a show called my kid would never do that. These guys are actors, the bullies, jeff is the victim. Did you guys feel like it was intense in here . Yeah. It was kind of intense. It was intense and very quiet. Did you feel at one point that you ever wanted to speak up for jeff i did feel bad for jeff. I wanted it to stop. Reporter we tell the girls weve not only been watching them, but reading their comments online as well. So were you worried about jeffs feelings . Or were you more worried about, were going to come off looking bad. A little bit of i cant lie, a little bit of both. But i cant say it was just theyre recording us. Were you afraid to speak up, because maybe you would become a target . I guess im just used to being silent about stuff. I was trying to deflect it. Reporter our expert comes in and explains how that can send a dangerous message to the victim. Do you see that by, like, by doing that, and, like, lets just stay out of it, looks like youre totally siding with them . Yeah. We did look like we were siding with them. Reporter the girls tell us they know what it feels like to be in the victims shoes ive had extreme experiences with bullying on multiple occasions. Sometimes ive been bullied at my school, and then its just like so awkward you dont want to say anything you just sit there. Reporter wiseman wants parents to know that kids whove been victimized can actually have a harder time speaking up. It makes me think as a parent, what more should i be doing . How many more conversations, how many different ways should we have the conversations that were having. Me and my mom are close. Were close. I applaud you guys for being so honest and open, and be willing to, you know, share what you have gone through to teach others. Reporter our next teen hasnt been bullied himself, but his sister says she was the victim of nasty cyberbullying. Meet connor. Im 13 years old and i use instagram. Reporter his dad says even though connors in an unfamiliar environment i think hell stand up for himself or if someone else is being picked on. I think he would stand up. Reporter this time weve switched up some of the actors. These two guys are the bullies, and this actor is playing our awkward victim. We leave them alone to answer the pop culture questions. When our victim says he likes a particular tv show maybe like dance moms is really popular. Reporter our bullies dive right in. Who are you . What kind of suggestion was dance moms . I mean unless you like to dance around in your house with a leotard on while watching dance moms. Oh, thats not cool . Reporter at first, connor laughs along, but then the bullies make fun of our victims sweater, and his hair. They compare him to a harry potter character. He looks like the guy who plays ron weasley, if ron weasley were to wear glasses and a shirt made out of autumn leaves. Okay, do you see that hes feeling nervous about his laughing. And hes looking at him. Reporter connor looks like hes having fun with the guys, but also seems concerned about our victim. Favorite Clothing Brand . Leaves. So he laughed. Reporter but watch what he does next. I like leaves. Trying to make him feel a little better. I like leaves. Reporter connor begins aligning himself with our victim. Watch how he disagrees with the bullies about the best video game. I think its more like a call of duty kind of thing. Yeah, i think call of duty would be more dont kill me when i say i dont like call of duty. Thats huge for him to say that to these boys. It might not look like it. Thats huge for him to say he doesnt like call of duty. Reporter and he defuses the tension with humor. I love jennifer lawrence. Uh huh, i can tell. Shes my wife. Shes my wife . Did i ever tell you guys . Nice. Atta boy. I know a lot of people like ariana grande. Shes my wife too. Dont tell jennifer lawrence. Reporter and maybe most important of all, he repeatedly includes our victim, even when the bullies are at their meanest. We dont really need to worry about eds input anymore. What do you think, ed . There you go. What do you think ed . Cut him off there. Reporter connor has taken crucial steps to support our victim in the room. But things get more complicated when the bullying goes cyber. This is a lot for him to deal with. Reporter coming up no wonder why he voted harry potter. Thats who he bases his outfit on. Nerd. Thats harsh. What will connor do . Reporter then think before you talk reporter here come the mean girls with a selfie that stings. Oh, wow. Things are getting mean. Reporter when dateline reporter in his own quiet way, 13yearold connor has done his best to help the actor being bullied in this room. What do you think ed . Reporter but what will he do about the cyberbullying . Its something his older sister alyssa says shes had to deal with. They said i look digusting. I look like a rat. They picked on what i look like, my nose. Reporter alyssa says cyberbullying can be fast and furious, with kids piling on mean comments. Adults could usually say oh just ignore them, brush it off but it can really get to someones child if its constantly happening every single day. They dont feel the loneliness that their child might feel. Reporter now, her brother connor is about to deal with some cyberbullies. And their dad is watching from our watchmobile. The bully takes a picture of our victim, and posts it with this comment. Hes like, no wonder why he voted harry potter. Thats who he bases his outfit on. Nerd. And then connor sees all the comments . Connor sees hes following. Reporter the bully turns up the heat, calling our victim the biggest nerd ever and then writing the latest comment, youd be so much better if you wore a bag over your head. Reporter this time, one of the bullies actually asks connor to like the post. But you totally got to like it. Or leave a comment or something. This is a lot for him to deal with. Reporter connor appears deep in thought. After one more look at our victim, he decides what to do. He puts his phone down, practically out of reach. The message is clear, he wont join in. He literally was being pressured by somebody, and he didnt do it. He shows compassion to people that are getting picked on. And i pretty much felt that he would do that. Reporter we come in to congratulate him on everything he did right. I was sitting there. And i was saying my god. This child is trying everything. Every single thing you could. Were you trying to Say Something . Or trying to put words. I wanted to Say Something. I wanted to help but i didnt want them to retaliate on me. Reporter its best, says wiseman, to Say Something short and effective to the bullies, like stop it. But if you cant, you can still send a powerful message without saying a word. Like connor did when he pushed his phone away. Where did you feel the biggest resistance, where was it the hardest to keep going . I mean, the whole thing was so hard to keep going because hes just such a good kid, you know . I just felt so bad. Can i give you a hug . Cause i know what youre feeling, this is a lot to deal with. By the way, im your new wife. Jennifer lawrence is not your wife. Reporter a lot of kids told us they feared retaliation if they confronted the bullies. But theres another reason kids dont speak up, and its a hard one to admit to. Sometimes, they just dont like the victim. But that, says Rosalind Wiseman, is no excuse. You can acknowledge it. Yup, this persons annoying. There will be annoying people in the world. But just because theres somebody who doesnt get along, or you dont feel as much in common with, does not therefore mean that you just turn your back on them. Reporter so what will happen when our victim is angel, an actress who we asked to appear immature, awkward, even irritating. Think of the person who interrupts all
