The students and my placement school were part of a cyber bullying video coordinated by the government.
Here it is:

It's pretty exciting to have a video that is not only mercifully free of 80s synthesizers in the background, but is up to date with online threats posed to students (and how some students are using ICT to pose a threat to others). The power of this video is that it is constructed in a way that is engaging to teenagers (it looks like a TV show), without being sensational or absolutist in the consequences.
I would use this video to discuss the issues it raises with students, but also potentially look at the stylistic features of the video, why it is successful in achieving its aim, and potentially make a video themselves and have them edit the footage with Movie Maker or a similar program.
