Armed with their iPads, some Citrus County students have turned a school assignment into a quest for change.

A group of eighth-graders at Inverness Middle School put together 12 public service announcements, and the message in the videos is clear: cyberbullying is dangerous and needs to stop.

It's a class project that hit very close to home for Jamie Stephen. She says she was a cyberbullying victim.

"It felt really bad," she said. "I felt worthless and it really affected me."

The eighth-graders were given a few guidelines and went to work on their iPads.

"I really wanted to do it so more people could see what's happening when they cyberbully other people," Stephen said.

That's exactly the point, according to teacher Lauren Fenech, who got the project rolling. She said the students' message is spreading around the school and beyond.

Fenech also said her kids have all learned a valuable lesson.

"Technology is dangerous, without a doubt," she said. "They have to be responsible. We leave a technological footprint of everything we do and they know that."

Jamie has high hopes that the PSAs will open some eyes and spare other kids from what she had to go through.

"I hope they will raise awareness and put a stop to cyberbullying," she said.
