Understanding Cyberbullying Worksheet

Use the scenario and your knowledge to answer each question. You do not need to share personal experiences. If the topic raises a concern, speak with a trusted adult.

Scenario: The game-chat screenshot

A gaming group chat includes Maia and several other players. One player repeatedly posts unkind comments about Maia and shares a screenshot of her mistake in a match. A few people add laughing reactions. Hemi does not join in, saves a screenshot of the posts, checks in with Maia privately, and tells a trusted adult. The comments are upsetting, even though the group is online.
