Feedback
1
This situation demonstrates how quickly things can spread beyond their intended audience online. What starts as a small group of trusted friends can easily expand to the whole school, showing that digital content is never truly private. The impact on someone's reputation can be significant because once an embarrassing photo starts circulating, it becomes impossible to control who sees it, leading to feelings of anxiety and embarrassment that affect their well-being.
2
Deleting cruel posts doesn't undo the emotional damage they've already caused. The fact that the student is sitting alone at lunch shows how online actions have real consequences in daily life. Even though everyone agreed to delete the posts, the hurt feelings and social isolation remain, proving that cyberbullying's impact lasts longer than the actual posts.
3
What happens online during gaming is having a serious effect on school life by making students afraid to participate in the school community. The threats have created an unsafe environment both online and offline, where students don't feel comfortable speaking up or asking adults for help. This shows how cyberbullying outside of school can create a cycle where students feel trapped and unsafe both online and in person.
4
Making a ranking list of classmates is a form of cyberbullying that could really hurt people's feelings, even if it's meant to be private. The pressure to participate makes it worse because it forces everyone to either join in the bullying behavior or risk being excluded. Sharing photos without permission and rating people's appearances crosses privacy boundaries, and there's always a chance the list could be shared with others, damaging reputations and friendships.
5
Recording and sharing an unflattering video of someone without their permission is wrong, even if it happened in a public place like gym. Just because people saw something happen in person doesn't mean everyone should be able to watch it over and over online. This kind of sharing can make someone feel embarrassed and uncomfortable at school, especially since they had no say in whether the video was taken or shared.
6
Exclusion is an example of cyberbullying because it happens on purpose to leave someone out online in a way that hurts their feelings. When this is done to embarrass, upset, or isolate someone, it becomes cyberbullying. Even though no mean words are used, being deliberately left out online can make a person feel sad, lonely, and rejected.

This situation shows deception because the person lied about their identity to gain Liam’s trust. It affected his privacy because his personal information and photos were shared without his permission. It also impacted his well-being, as the experience left him feeling embarrassed, anxious, and unsafe.
8
This scenario shows that because the other player is asking for Mia’s personal information, this is putting her online safety at risk. No one should pressure someone to share private details like their location or school, especially in a gaming environment. The threatening messages are a form of online harassment and can seriously affect a person’s well-being, causing fear, anxiety, and stress. Online spaces should be safe, respectful environments where people feel comfortable and protected.

This situation harms reputation because the edited video gives people a false impression of Ethan’s behaviour. Even though the clip is taken out of context, others believe it is true and begin to judge him negatively. Online posts can spread quickly and stay visible for a long time, which can damage how peers and teachers see him.
It also harms well-being because Ethan may feel embarrassed, anxious, angry, or stressed about how others are treating him. Being judged or talked about online can affect a teenager’s confidence, friendships, and sense of belonging. When someone’s reputation is damaged publicly, it can have real emotional and social impacts.

This scenario is an example of cyberbullying because students are deliberately using online platforms to post hurtful comments and embarrass Gillian. It involves deception because someone creates a fake account pretending to be her, which damages her reputation by making others believe false information. As a result, her well-being is affected, as she may feel anxious, isolated, and lose confidence.
