                      BLOCK and TELL rule. One has been done for you.

                      Example: Someone is spreading a rumour about you in an online game.
                      Answer: Stop and do not respond. Block the bully if possible. Save evidence by taking a screenshot. Tell a
                      trusted adult.
                      1.   You receive a mean message from an unknown number. What do you do?

                      3.    A classmate posts a poll on social media asking people to vote on the “ugliest” person in your class and
                         it is gaining a lot of votes. What do you do?

                      4.    You are in a group chat and one friend starts making fun of another friend who is not in the chat. What
                         do you do?

                      5.    A friend sends you a private, mean message about another student and tells you not to tell anyone.
                         What do you do?

                      THE HARMFUL EFFECTS OF CYBERBULLYING

                      Cyberbullying can have serious and long-lasting effects
                      on the victim. Here are some of the ways it can harm:

                          Emotional distress: Victims may experience feelings
                         of sadness, anxiety and depression due to the constant
                         online attacks. This can affect their self-esteem and
                         mental health.
