A group of girls were fighting with one of their friends, Nicole. They created a “Rate Nicole” group on a social networking site. They posted embarrassing photos of Nicole from middle school and high school and invited their hundreds of “friends” to join the group to look at the photos, and tell Nicole how she stacked up. Cruel and crude comments were posted on the group’s message board. One message said that some girls were planning to beat up Nicole. At school, Nicole got text messages on her cell phone saying, “Take a look at what everyone thinks of you.”
What’s the Problem?
People were using the internet to get back at Nicole
What emotions do you think Nicole felt when she saw the photos and read all the comments online?
She was probably feeling mad that someone would take it as far a posting photos online of her a long time ago. also she was probably depressed that everyone turned against her over a little fight.
How do you think she felt when she read that some girls wanted to beat her up?
She probably felt scared that she has to watch her back
How do you think this situation affected the learning environment of the school?
Everyone was probably more worried about whats going to happen to Nicole that they didn't pay attention in the classroom.
What advice you would you give Nicole?
I would tell her that things could be a lot worst and that she should either go to the principal or the police
What advice would you give the girls who created the group?
I would tell them to try and shut down the blog before things get out of control and that they should try and resolve things with Nicole.
What could you do if you witnessed a similar situation online that made you worried?
I would tell someone
