Let’s talk!
What does it mean to be brave?
What do you do when you see something unkind online?

Let’s talk!
Write down one situation you might encounter where someone is being nasty online.
Let’s practise…

Let’s talk!
How did you decide to respond?
Why did you choose that response?
Asking for help �is brave
We’re going to look at some scenarios.
After you have read them, think about �if they’ve ever happened to you.
If you feel able to, share with us what �you did, or didn’t do, and why.
1
You need help �remembering a password.
2
Another gamer really likes �your skin and offers to pay �you game money for it.
How do you decide?
3
You see some really �mean behaviour in a video �and aren’t sure what to �do about it.
4
Another gamer asks how old you are and where you live.
Do you tell them?
5
A friend shows you a video that’s really violent – someone gets hurt in it.
What do you do?
6
You want to do something about a comment you see online that’s really mean.
What do you do?
7
Someone on the playground starts making fun of another child because they don’t have a phone, and they are really sad.
What do you do about that?
8
You’re watching a video of cartoon characters and all of a sudden something really scary pops up in the middle of it.
What do you do?
Do you know how
to report things online?
Do you know what community guidelines,
or terms of service, are?
Do you know how�to report something inappropriate when using an app?
Let’s practise…
We’re going to look at some more scenarios.
Would you report it online �or in the app? Why?
1
Someone posts a group photo in a public account and you hate the way you look in it.
Would you report that photo or not?
If you know who posted it, would you talk with the person and ask them to take it down?
How can you respond?
2
Someone creates an account of a pupil �you know using their name and photo.
They turned the photo into a meme and drew a moustache and other weird facial features on it, turning the photo into a joke.
Would you report the account?
3
Someone posts lots of mean comments about a pupil in your school without using their name, but you have a feeling you know who it is.
Would you report those comments �or not and, if you would, how?
4
Someone creates an account with your school’s name in the screen name and posts other pupils’ photos with comments that everybody hears about.
Some of the comments are hurtful to pupils, some are compliments.
Do you report the hurtful comments, the whole account or both?
5
One night, you notice that a pupil has made �a comment online saying they’re going to �fight with another pupil in the dinner hall �the next day.
Do you report that comment online or not?
Do you report it to a teacher or headteacher the next morning or not? Both?
6
You’re watching a cartoon video and all of �a sudden there’s some weird content in it �that’s definitely not appropriate for children and makes you feel uncomfortable.
Do you report it or not?
7
You’re playing an online game with friends �and someone none of the players know �starts chatting with you. They’re not being nasty or anything, but you don’t know them.
Do you ignore them or report them?
What can you do or say when you see upsetting stuff online?
