 PART B – READING COMPREHENSION

Read the following text.

CYBERBULLYING

Black letters flash across the screen, launching an attack of rumors and insults. A
text, a Facebook wall post, a Tweet – a line or two is all it takes to wound someone’s self-esteem,
to bring tears, to ruin a friendship. With the explosion of modern technology, old-school bullying
is out and a new type of bullying is taking the stage. But while stuffing someone in a locker is a
5 pretty obvious sign of harassment, with no bruises or bloody noses as evidence of abuse,
cyberbullying often doesn’t raise alarms until it’s too late.
When asked to define “cyberbullying,” most students find it difficult because it
may take many forms. In fact, commentary and criticism are common on the Web.
When “George” posted comments about other students on Twitter, he didn’t
10 intend it to be an attack. “I just thought it was funny,” he says. “When I wrote it, I thought that
the people I wrote about weren’t going to see it because I know who follows me, but it got
around.”
Though he’s now rethinking his comments, George defines cyberbullying with one
main distinction: intent. “I would say cyberbullying is when you intentionally attack someone, and
15 directly say something mean or hurtful,” he says.
An unintentionally mean Twitter comment may or may not be cyberbullying, but that
doesn’t make it any less hurtful and it has consequences. You may feel that when it comes to
cyberbullying, it simply takes a click of the power button to zap away the negative effects, but it
isn’t always that easy.
