Cyberbullying Impact Analysis

Read the scenario and complete each task. There may be more than one reasonable response to open-ended questions; sample answers are provided for checking. Do not include real names or share personal experiences you would rather keep private.

Scenario: A group chat turns hurtful

Anahera is in a group chat with several classmates. One evening, a student posts an unkind edited image of her and adds a mocking comment. Others react with laughing emojis. The post is copied into another chat, and Anahera receives direct messages telling her not to come to a weekend gathering. She stops checking the chat, sleeps poorly and finds it hard to concentrate in class. One classmate, Maia, is worried but is unsure what to do. The student who posted the image says it was “only a joke” and does not realise how far it has spread.
