4. In this lesson we will be exploring the benefits and dangers of the global computer network – cyberspace!

6. Jun and her friend Jasbir have fallen out. Jasbir has sent Jun a text. How could she?

7. How could Jasbir text those awful things about me?

8. Now she’s sent a horrible picture of me that she must have taken at the sleep-over a few weeks ago! Later …….

9. … it seems she’s copied it to all her friends!

11. What Jun should do She should: tell a responsible adult that she is being cyber-bullied. ask her parents to get in touch with the phone company and ask them to block the calls. She should NOT: respond/retaliate, as this could make things worse. delete the text messages. They are evidence!

12. Cyber-bullying is an especially nasty form of bullying because it can follow children into their homes outside school hours, and even when they’re on holiday.

14. My name is Ahmeti. I am 13 years old. My address is 12, Ashbourne Road, Tellminster, TL1 3NY. My tel no. is 07918 238811

15. Hi Ahmeti, You sound really fun. Shall we meet up? I think we could be good friends. Alex Great …. I’ve found a new friend on the internet!

17. Where Ahmeti is Going Wrong She has posted personal information on the internet. You should never share your address or telephone number on line! She should have used an avatar instead of a real photo. She appears to be about to arrange a meeting with a stranger who she has met online. Alex could be anyone - a young girl or a thirty year old man! ! S/he seems nice but could mean her harm ! !

19. Cyber-bullies can send their messages to a lots of people at lightning speed.

20. Callum has just received a text from one of his classmates. He is asking Callum and his friends to meet him at the corner of the street to beat up his neighbour on his way home from school!

22. The same thing you would do whenever you become aware that someone is being bullied! REPORT IT to a trusted adult. If anyone is in immediate danger call 999. Of course, if everyone treated each other with proper respect there would be no bullying – of any kind!

24. Go-Givers My little safety tip: I never tell anyone my passwords. Can you guess why I don’t?

25. Teefa knows that if someone has her password they can change things on her social network page without her permission, and could post false information and nasty photos to make her feel bad. Mums and dads have to be careful too, especially when they use passwords for important and private matters like banking.

27. Glossary Cyberspace – global computer network Cyber-bullying – use of technology, e.g. the internet or a mobile phone, to deliberately hurt, humiliate, or threaten someone Social network sites – sites that help people connect to each other (e.g. MySpace, Facebook, Bebo ).
