15. Cyber
Using electronic means to
harm intentionally an intended
target (victim) (Smith et al.
2013). Perpetrators of cyber
bullying enjoy a degree of
anonymity and invisibility, and
are able to victimize a peer
within the sanctity of one’s own
home, at any time of the day
or night...which also can make
them less aware of the impact of
their behavior on victims
(Bonanno, & Hymel, 2013, p. 686).

Langille, J. (2012, December 05). What's expected in the new DSM-5. Retrieved May 20, 2016, from http://janelangille.com/whats-expected-in-the-new-dsm-5/
21. Mental Health Is
an essential part of adolescents' overall health — has a complex
interactive relationship with their physical health and their
ability to succeed in school, at work and in society. Both
physical and mental health affect how we think, feel and act on
the inside and outside.
Children's Mental Health. (n.d.)
23. Experience of the Bully

problems, and violence later in adolescence and adulthood (Farrington, Baldry,
2010).
Poor academic performance (Cook et al., 2010).
Poor social problem-solving skills (Cook et al., 2010).

smoke, poor grades, perceive a negative climate at school, and carry a weapon
(How Bullying Affects Children | Violence Prevention Works).

would be unsafe at school or on their way to school or from school (2013 Youth Risk
Behavior Survey, p. 9).
About 7% of students missed one day of school out of the month because they did
not feel safe going to and from school or at school (2013 Youth Risk Behavior Survey,

Negative attitudes and beliefs about one’s self (Cook et al., 2010).
Poor social problem-solving skills (Cook et al., 2010).
Victimized youth are at increased risk for depression, low self-esteem, health
problems, poor grades, and suicidal thoughts (How Bullying Affects Children | Violence
Prevention Works).

27. Practice Makes Perfect
(Scenario 1)
Dan and Joe are really good mates and hang out together all the time.
Dan is always messing around and likes to play tricks on people.
Sometimes his jokes are a bit near the mark and Joe doesn’t know how he
gets away with it. His latest prank involves videoing people’s reactions to
his jokes to and anonymously posts the footage online. Most people just
laugh it off and don’t take it too seriously. However, just now Joe goes
online and a video of one of the girls from his class fills the screen. It’s a
video of the girl naked and she clearly has no idea that she is being filmed.
She gets a hard time in school as it is without everyone seeing this. In no
time at all, mean comments start pouring in. Joe thinks Dan has gone too
far this time but before he can text his friend to tell him, a message pops
up naming Joe as the culprit. He quickly types in that it wasn’t him but the
response clearly displays that no one believes him. One person even says
that they can hear his voice on the film.
What could you do to show you are a good online friend to Joe?

28. Practice Makes Perfect
(Scenario 2)
Kieran is really tech savvy and up to speed with anything new that comes out on
the market. He’s always first to get hold of a new game or the latest mobile
phone. His parents don’t really monitor what he’s up to online and have
complete trust in him. Some people think he’s really cool because he has all this
stuff whilst others think he’s a bit of a show off. One person who holds him in
high regard is his cousin Paul. He really looks up to Kieran. So, following in his
older cousins’ footsteps, Paul finally convinces his reluctant parents to buy him
the same model phone. The problem is, he can’t figure out how to use it. So he
calls on Kieran’s help. Willingly he agrees and Paul hands over his phone. As a
joke, Kieran decides to reset Paul’s profile on all his social media accounts. He
also creates fake updates which will, unknowingly to him, cause serious
embarrassment to his younger cousin. He hands back the phone and gives Paul
a quick demo on how to use it. Later that day, Paul starts to receive weird
messages from people, many of whom he doesn’t even know. Some messages
are threatening, whilst others are just plain creepy. He soon realises that his
accounts have been messed with and asks his cousin for help as he’s too
ashamed to tell his parents or ask for their help. Kieran realises his mistake but
makes out he hasn’t got a clue, convincing Paul that he must have been hacked.
Paul believes him.
How could you help Paul with his dilemma?

29. Practice Makes Perfect
(Scenario 3)
Michelle and Sam really don’t get on. They are in different classes at school and
have different groups of friends. That is, apart from Jen. She’s friends with both
girls and finds it really difficult to remain neutral. When Jen hears the news that
Sam is dating Michelle’s ex-boyfriend, she knows that it’s all about to kick off
between the two. Sure enough, later that evening it starts. Jen gets a phone call
from another friend confiding in her that Michelle is fuming and is plotting her
revenge. Although her friend doesn’t want to divulge any more information “I
don’t want to get involved” she says, she slips up that everyone will know about
it and that Sam’s reputation will be ruined. It didn’t take a genius to work out
what was going to happen, and sure enough when Jen goes online, there it
is...an anonymous hate campaign against Sam. Really awful pictures. The
pictures have been photoshopped. Pictures of Sam with lots of different boys, in
all sorts of poses. Each one accompanied with really nasty text. Within no time
at all, the comments start to pour in. Jen’s phone rings and Sam’s name pops up
on the screen. She can’t bring herself to answer the call but does listen to the
voicemail message. Her friend is distraught and asking for help. Sam wants to
know whether she knew anything about it and wants confirmation that
Michelle is behind it all. Jen really doesn’t know what to do as she too doesn’t
really want to get involved.
What good digital deeds could you do to support Jen?
