Understanding Bullying

Read the scenario and each question carefully. Bullying can affect people in different ways. You do not need to share personal experiences; use the scenario to explain your thinking. If something in this worksheet raises a concern for you, talk with a trusted adult or contact a support service.

A situation to consider

At a youth activity, a group chat is used to organise shared projects. Over several weeks, some members repeatedly post mocking comments about Ari, leave Ari out of plans, and encourage others not to work with them. Ari has asked for it to stop. One person in the group feels uneasy but is worried about becoming the next target.

1.Using the scenario, explain whether the behaviour is more likely to be bullying or a one-off disagreement. Refer to at least two features that support your view.
2.Choose the best description of the repeated mocking comments and leaving Ari out of plans.
  • Only physical bullying
  • Verbal and social bullying, with an online element
  • A fair disagreement because it happens in a group chat
  • Not harmful unless a threat is made
3.True or false: Every argument between people is bullying. Give one reason for your answer.
TrueFalse
4.Name two ways this behaviour could affect Ari’s wellbeing or participation, even if no one uses physical force.

SAFER SUPPORT Check in privately with Ari. Listen and ask what support they would like.

GET HELP Tell a trusted adult or activity leader what you observed. Share facts, not rumours.

USE ONLINE TOOLS Save relevant evidence privately and report the harmful posts through the platform or group administrator.

AVOID ESCALATION Do not forward, like, or add to the posts. Avoid confronting people alone if it could put anyone at risk.

5.The bystander is worried about becoming the next target. Choose the best first step from the grid and explain why it is a sensible option.
6.Fill in the blank: Forwarding a mocking post to more people can the harm, even if the person forwarding it says they are only sharing it as a joke.
7.Write a short response plan for the bystander. Include one way to support Ari, one way to report or seek help, and one action to avoid.
8.Match each situation with a suitable support option.
  • A person feels unsafe or overwhelmed right now
  • Harmful posts are appearing in a group chat
  • Someone wants a confidential conversation about wellbeing
  • Use the platform’s reporting tools and tell a responsible adult or group administrator
  • Contact a trusted adult promptly; seek emergency help if there is immediate danger
  • Consider contacting Youthline in New Zealand by calling 0800 376 633 or texting 234
9.Write one clear group-chat rule that could help prevent bullying and one sentence explaining how the group could respond if the rule is broken.
