WEEK 4.

Situation 4.

A guy Nandita knew asked her to a party. She politely declines, making up an excuse not to go. When Nandita received a second and third invitation to go out with the guy, he started sending her creepy emails and text messages. The messages referred to her "hot" body and contained sexual comments. Nandita told her friend who advised Nandita to ignore it. When the unwanted messages continued, Nandita went to her school Guidance Counselor, even though she felt embarrassed to discuss the problem. The counselor told Nandita that she was sexually harassed and that the school administrators would take actions to make the harassment stop.

Discuss how well you think the person handled cyberbullying and how you might have handled it differently.

For such a serious matter like this, I must say that I am really impressed on how Nandita handled all that’s in front of her.

She really made the right decision to tell an elderly about her situation, and if I were her, I would also do what she did because it’s clear that she’s being degraded and her safety and reputation are at stake because of those photos and messages.

Consulting an adult regarding this kind of matter, no matter how embarrassing it seems is the best thing that one can do in order to prevent worse things from happening and also prevent oneself from having a lot of regrets from their decisions that--if not done as impulses--were poorly been thought about.
