Sophie, a 14-year-old British girl, suddenly changed her behavior in class. She lost interest in studies and would sit in the corner with her head mostly down.
Ethan Miller, one of Sophie’s teachers, discovered that she was bullied (欺凌) online. Sophie was receiving abusive (辱骂) messages on her phone and on Faccbook. Miller shared Sophie’s story on the official website of The Children’s Society, a children’s charity in the UK.
Sophie was not alone. One in three young people, in 30 countries, said they have experienced online bullying. Twenty percent of those bullied students were not willing to go to school because of it, according to a report in September. The study surveyed more than 170, 000 young people aged 13—24 from countries in Europe, Asia, Africa and South America. Seventy-five percent of them said that the most common online bullying cases happened on social media, like Faccbook and Twiter. The growth of social media has left many young people hurt through unfriendly and abusive messages, comments and pictures online.
The Internet world makes it easier for people to communicate with each other, but there is more danger for young people as well —and it is surprising that online bullying troubles many young people more than anything else. What’s more, online bullying could lead to serious results for young people. Such bullying makes young people more than twice as likely to hurt themselves or even kill themselves, according to a 2018 study by the university of Oxford, UK. The research also found that young people facing online bullying were not as likely to ask for help as those bullied by traditional ways.
To deal with the problem, UNICEF has called for national helplines to support people who are bullied, along with training for teachers and parents to prevent and deal with online bullying.
Here is some advice to keep yourself away from danger on the Internet.
● Make sure that you’re careful and respectful to others, even if you don’t share similar opinions, values or beliefs.
● If you experience online bullying, the best response (回应) to a bully is no response at all.
● Keep a record of anything that shows proof (证据) of online bullying, like screenshots. You can use this to report and stop them.

3. How does online bullying hurt young people?

Spring is a good time for kite flying—a popular activity in China. On a sunny day you’ll see colorful kites flying in the sky. They have all kinds of shapes like swallows (燕 子) and peaches. Each kind has a different meaning in Chinese culture. For example, swallows mean good luck and peaches bring you a long life.
The largest kite in the world is a big “octopus”. It’s about 1,100 square meters, twice as big as a basketball court. Li Jingyang, a kite fan in Jilin, spent eight months making it in 2008.
The city of Weifang in Shandong is the home of the kite. The city holds an international kite festival in April every year. There are competitions for kite-flying skills and new styles of kites. The most famous is the competition for the “Kite King”. Thousands of kite fans from more than 30 countries take part in the competitions, or just enjoy this colorful event.
The kite was invented by Chinese people over 2,000 years ago. According to historical records, kites were first used by soldiers (士兵) to send news to their friends. In the Tang Dynasty, flying kites became a popular game for everyone.
Since it was spread to the West in the 1100s, the kite has had a great influence on Western life.
The lightning rod (避雷针) was invented with the help of a kite. Modern aircraft came from kites, too. At the National Air and Space Museum in Washington DC, a board reads, “The earliest man-made aircraft were the kites and missiles (投射武器) of ancient China.”

You might not have been a victim (受害者) of bullying, but chances are you’ve seen it happen to one of your classmates.
Bullying is that a person or a group hurts or harms someone else again and again on purpose, and the person who is being hurt feels like he or she can’t stop it from happening. Bullying can be physical, such as hitting; it can be verbal, such as making fun of someone in a bad way; or it can be social, which might include purposely encouraging other students not to be friends with that child. It can happen in person or online.
Bullying can make you feel alone, scared and embarrassed, and these feelings may be hard to shake off even after the bullying has stopped. Bullying can also make you have difficulty in concentrating in studying or making new friends.
If you’re being bullied, it’s important to tell a trusted adult or friend what’s happening and take the first step in getting help. If you find it hard to share your feelings, practice saying things out loud first or writing a letter instead.
Helping someone else who is being bullied by showing your care makes a big difference. If you’re feeling safe and you’ve got someone to support you, step in and tell the bully to stop. You might offer to help someone bullied to report. You can invite them to join in something fun with your friendship group so they’re not left by themselves.

【推荐1】Should friends be the same or different?
My mother told me a good friend is like a mirror. I’m quieter and more serious than most kids. That’s why I like reading books and I study harder in class. My best friend Yuan Li is quiet too, so we enjoy studying together. I’m shy, so it’s not easy for me to make friends. But I think friends are like books—you don’t need a lot of them as long as they’re good.
—Jeff Green
It’s not necessary to be the same. My best friend Larry is quite different from me. He is taller and more outgoing than me. We both like sports, but he plays tennis better, so he always wins. However, I always get better grades than he does, so maybe I should help him more.
—Huang Lei
I don’t really care if my friends are the same as me or different. My favorite saying is “A true friend reaches for your hand and touches your heart.” My best friend Carol is really kind and very funny. In fact, she’s funnier than anyone I know. I broke my arm last year but she made me laugh and feel better. We can talk about and share everything. I know she cares about me because she’s always there to listen.

I want people to understand that I am a good, smart person and that I may act like being a little strange but I can be a good friend. (B)你认为我应该怎么做?
－Tom
Dear Tom,
It sounds like you’ve prepared (C)_______ well for starting a new school. Brushing up on social skills and choosing clothes you feel good in will certainly help you make a good first impression. And what’s just important is your inner confidence: knowing that you are a good, smart person who can be a great friend!
Use your social skills to meet people. Start by being (D)friendly and just say hi to people in your classroom or other classes. Use confident, relaxed body language. Think ahead about conversation starters. It can help make talking to people easier.
Join in (E)_______ after-school activity that is interesting to you. That way, you’ll meet students who share your interests and who might make good friends with you.
It’s perfectly OK to let people know, “Hey, I have Asperger syndrome, so some things are difficult for me.” (F)If you make it public rather than try to hide it, there’s less chance that people will make fun of you for it.
You should have a valuable high school experience — one where your talents and strengths can shine, and others can appreciate(欣赏) your friendship, good character, and intelligence.
