Task A:

1. “Tagged” - It all started when Chloe (Victim) (Jack’s girlfriend) ran to Ben 

(Student involved) and they walked together both arm over shoulder. But there were 3 mischievous girls, Kate (Bully), Raz (Bully/Positive bystander) and Em (Bully/Bystander), illegally taking photos of them and posted the footage on a school blog. After a few days passed by, many problems were caused due to the one photo, such as, Jack (Victim/Bully) fighting Ben and Jack thinking Chloe was cheating on him (that event was also , loss of respect and friends form Chloe and Jack and more. Until one day, Raz stood up and tried to convince Kate delete all footage that was posted on the blog, but then Kate tried to threaten Raz to make her change her mind. After that day, Raz decided to go straight to Jack and tell him that it was Kate who was the ‘mastermind’ for the photo and video. They paired up to get revenge on Kate and posted an inappropriate photo of Kate. Kate was depressed by the ‘misbehaviour’ of Jack and Raz. After that horrific week was over, all of the students that were involved with the photo and video were expelled, moved to different school or put on serious detentions with their parents. They were never friends after that.

Task B (Raz’s Perspective):

Hi, I’m Raz. I just suffered the most horrific week of my life so far. I have learnt that bullying or teasing anyone is easy to do but the consequences are dreadful. Because of me, the blackmail and many others, we all lost friendship and trust in each other. One of my lost friends has now moved schools. It’s like starting a new life, except you’re not a child.
