why did you choose cyberbullying?

When I hear cyberbullying, I think about really mean messages or private pictures.
I used to think that too. But I saw a video about teenagers where a girl teased a boy by sending messages and emojis. She may have thought she was joking, but the boy was hurt.
Really? Even an emoji can hurt someone?
Yes. We don't always know how the other person will feel. That is why I think we should stop and think before pressing send.

Yes. During COVID-19, my daughter’s teacher talked to the class about cyberbullying.
Have you talked about cyberbullying with your children?
What did the teacher tell them?
That is really important
Yes. I also attended a cyberbullying workshop for teens. We talked about how parents should talk with their children and pay attention to what they are doing online.
