Remember: When someone is treated unkindly online, do not join in. Be kind, and tell a grown-up.
Bea and Arlo
Read the story first, then answer.
The laughing facesArlo was new at school. He posted a video of his first skateboard trick in the class group chat, and he tipped sideways into a bush. Then Wes wrote, "Haha, what a fail. Never post again," and laughing faces piled up like a tower. Bea's thumb floated over the laughing face. She thought, "One more laugh from me is one more laugh at Arlo." She did not tap it. She started a cross reply, then deleted it, because arguing in front of everyone can make it louder. Instead she sent Arlo a private message: "Hi Arlo. I thought it was brave to try. Falling is part of learning, and I am on your side." Then she showed her papa, who took a picture of the chat and wrote to the teacher in charge.
