In this digital age, the Internet has become an integral part of our lives. However, the online world is not perfect, and there are problems that jeopardize our mental health and social relationships, such as cyberbullying.

During the past STEM WEEK , ASJ students learned that every comment and action on the internet has an impact, whether positive or negative, and that we should be aware of our responsibilities in cyberspace. Through friendly comments, positive interactions and respect for others' views, we can work together to create a friendly, inclusive and positive online environment.

在每天的晨间SEL活动中，老师带领学生一起探讨了什么是霸凌行为。同学们积极讲述自己了解到或经历过的霸凌事件，并使用Mood-Meter的颜色分区及愉悦、能量两个不同维度来分享自己关于受欺凌的感受，最后通过 “BULLY or BUDDY ”（霸凌还是做朋友）活动，制作属于自己的“援助之手”，清晰地展现ASJ学子对“何为霸凌行为”与“何为援助的理解”。

In the daily morning SEL activity, the teacher led the students to explore what bullying is. Students actively talked about bullying incidents they had learned or experienced, and used the four color quadrants from the Mood-Meter as well as different level of pleasantness and energy to share their feelings about bullying. Finally, through the BULLY or BUDDY activity, students created their own "helping hands", clearly demonstrating ASJ students' understanding of "what is bullying" and "what is helping".

Students watched the best animated short film "Are you ok?" at the Los Angeles One-Reeler Film Festival in SEL class, and had a lively discussion about the "purple liquid" that grows on the body of the victim of bullying in the short film. The students thought that the "purple liquid" signified the bullying behavior experienced by the victim, as well as the layers of pressure and depression brought by cyber-bullying, but the purple liquid on the victim's body gradually turned into shining light after a simple greeting from a peer "Are you ok? “ From this, students realized that we should be responsible for our own words and actions not only in campus activities but also in online behaviors, so as not to let words turn into harm. At the same time, we should pay attention to the use of the right of portrait, and not to post other people's photos on the Internet without their permission. Moreover， students should care about their peers and give them support when they are able to help. 

Later, students created "WeChat Moments" themed on bullying from the perspectives of "Bully", "Bystander" and "Victim of Bullying" respectively, and participated in commenting on the WeChat Moments together with their schoolmates to share their understanding of bullying behaviors and their consequences in an interactive way.

网络霸凌是一种通过网络平台对他人进行恶意攻击、威胁或羞辱的行为。它可以采取多种形式，如未经他人允许使用照片制作表情包、谩骂、人身攻击、散布虚假信息等。我们需要了解网络霸凌的表现方式，以便更好地识别并应对这些问题。

Cyberbullying is a type of malicious attack, threat or humiliation of others through online platforms. It can take many forms, such as using photos to make emoticons without others' permission, name-calling, personal attacks and spreading false information. We need to understand how cyberbullying manifests itself so that we can better recognize and respond to these issues.

During Friday's SEL Campus event, students from the Primary Division displayed the cyberbullying Wechat Moments that they had created, prompting many seniors, teachers and parents to pay attention and reflect on the issue and to comment and leave messages to convey the energy of a positive, healthy learning community.

让我们共同努力，构建一个负责任的网络空间。请每个人都意识到自己在网络上的影响力，积极传播正能量，尊重他人，避免网络霸凌行为。
