Constable Louise has been in Room 10 this week teaching us about Bullying - what it is, why people bully and how to deal with it. Today the focus was on cyber bullying and we watched this video - pretty thought provoking ! ( how private are your Facebook settings? )
Constable
Louise came to Room 10 to talk about how to stop being bullied and how to solve
it.
We learnt
about different ways that people get bullied like: physical, gesture,
stereotyping and worst of all cyber bullying.
If you are
wondering what stereotyping is well that’s what I’m going to tell you? It’s not a stereo that plays music or a
computer that you type on it is when you judge someone you don’t even know and
judge how you look or by their race. Constable Louise put up pictures of people
we didn’t know and we had to guess their age, where they worked and their
interests. Most of Room 10 were wrong about them and that is what you call
stereotyping. So if you’re judging someone stop and think would you like people
judging you and I bet the answer would be no!.
Anyway my
favourite bullying subject was cyber bullying, it is a horrible type of bullying
and no one should ever have to go through it. Room 10 is filled with people who
talk on line and need to be aware of cyber bullying. We got taught a few rules that
you should follow if you have an online page. The rules were only friend your
true friends and family and make sure they are the only people who can see your
page, and if you are getting cyber bullied you need to tell someone like an
adult at home or even your teacher. The biggest rule was don’t text back to the
person that is cyber bullying you, because they will know that you are upset
and will carry on even more. It was really good advice it made us think and
wonder.
We also
watched a few videos like Becky’s world that was about cyber bullying and at the
end of the video it asked a very important question that everyone should ask
themself
Are you cyber safe?
