From these stories, we understand that bystanders play an important role. If more people in those cyber bullying situations stood up and said it was wrong, like in the case of the boy bullied for his appearance, the situation might not have gotten so bad. We all need to be more empathetic and not tolerate such behavior.
We can learn that words online can be very hurtful. Just because it's the internet doesn't mean there are no real - life consequences.
One story is about a young girl who posted her drawings on a social media platform. Some users started to leave mean comments, saying her art was 'ugly' and that she should stop. It made her very self - conscious and she almost gave up on her hobby.
One way is for 11 - year - olds to not share too much personal information online. For example, don't post your home address or phone number. Also, they should block anyone who sends mean messages right away. If someone is being unkind in a chat, just block them so they can't continue.
We can learn that cyber bullying can cause serious harm to the victims. It can damage their self - esteem and confidence.
In cyber bullying stories, one common consequence is the victim's damaged self - esteem. For example, if they are constantly insulted online, they start to believe those negative comments about themselves.
We can learn that bullying has a huge negative impact on the victim. It can make them feel scared, sad and not want to go to school.
One thing we can learn is the importance of early intervention. In many of these stories, if someone had stepped in sooner, like a teacher or a parent, the victim's suffering could have been lessened. For example, in Tom's story, if a classmate had stood up for him when his books were knocked down at first, it might have deterred the bullies.
By sharing these stories. When people hear about the real tragedies that cyber bullying can lead to, like suicide, they become more aware of how serious it is. It makes them think twice before being mean or harassing others online.
We can learn about empathy. When we hear a school bullying story, we realize how much pain the victim goes through. This should make us more empathetic towards others in our daily lives. We should not be bystanders but instead try to help those who are being bullied, just like how in some stories, a kind classmate steps in to stop the bullying.
One story is about a girl who had her unflattering photo shared online by classmates. They added mean captions, which made her feel extremely self - conscious and ashamed. She started to avoid school and lost her confidence.
Yes. For example, in some cases, the 'victim' can gain popularity like the girl in the meme story. By handling the situation humorously, they can show their resilience and sense of humor, which others may admire.
