UNIT 6: SOCIAL MEDIA AND THE INTERNET
My name‿ is Sam. When‿ I was 14,│ some classmates created‿ an‿ anonymous‿ account‿ an(d) sen(t) me horrible messages. They threatened me an(d) spread lies‿ about me at school.
I was very upset,│ an(d) for‿ a month‿ I did not tell‿ anybody. Then my father saw my phone. He blocked the account‿ an(d) reported‿ it to the school. The teachers talked to the students,│ an(d) the messages stopped.
Now I speak‿ up│ when‿ I see bullying. If somebody is‿ a victim,│ I tell‿ a teacher,│ and‿ I suppor(t) my friends. I also tell younger students:│ do not‿ answer the bully,│ an(d) never keep‿ it secret. It‿ is not your fault.
