CASE STUDY 1 READING FIRST Part You are going to read four case studies about (cyber)bullying. For questions 1-10, choose from the people A-D. The same people may be chosen more than once. Who& 1 found comfort in an online friend until receiving a threatening message with a video enclosed? 2 experienced rejection from social activities and a decline in self-confidence? 3 reported being cyberbullied to the school counsellor? 4 required several months of counselling to regain confidence? 5 started being cyberbullied after being mocked because of their physical appearance? 6 was bullied for a personal characteristic? 7 was helped by their parents who looked for professional advice? 8 was bullied at a not very young age? 9 was made fun of after an <innocent prank=? 10 was victim of a technique used to obtain confidential information through a false relationship? A Exclusion because of her strange accent from the class was very manageable for 14-year-old Tanvi while it was only limited to the schooling hours and in the classroom. But then it extended to being excluded on social media. It started affecting her self-confidence and ability to cope with exclusion. She started withdrawing herself from all social activities. She didn9t feel like talking to anyone. Anger became her only way of expressing herself, even in her family. It took 2-4 months of regular counselling work to get the bubbly, happy, and confident Tanvi back. B 27-year-old Manish was on the verge of break down when he reached out for help. Manish, who was working in another country away from his home and family, found a friend on Facebook he could trust, until one morning, when he woke to find a message on FB messenger with his own video attached (from previous night9s video call with his FB friend), followed by an extortion message stating <pay up XXX amount if you do not want this video going viral and into your family9s message box.= He had fallen victim to honey trapping. The counsellors helped him sail through this cyber bullying attack and move on with life. C While Sandy was asleep, her friends put some makeup on her face with some lipstick to make her look funny. Their intent was simply to have some fun. But the fun became subject to public ridicule when the picture was posted on Instagram. One nasty comment attracted many more unpleasant ones, making fun of her physical appearance, breaking down her self-confidence with every <like= received on such comments. Her parents reported she started staying alone and became very sensitive. Even her teachers complained that she didn9t get involved in any class activity as before. Her parents were unaware of the actual trigger, but knew something was not right and sought professional help to solve the problem. D Sara, age 14, reported being cyberbullied to the school counsellor. She had sent some 8dirty9 photos to her 15-year-old boyfriend through Snapchat. He had shown the photos to his friends and the boys had started making fun of her. They started calling her names as she walked by. She also received thirteen Snapchat messages requesting naked pictures of her. The principal and the teachers reacted immediately and the incident was discussed in a teachers9 meeting. Since Snapchat deletes shared content after it has been viewed, no record of either the photo or the messages exists. However, Sara decided to change school and learn from the experience: think before you share! Adapted from: https://www.cyberbaap.org/case-studies/ 104 Topic 4 " SOCIETY
