Aisha is a cyber bully!

Emma was a student at ESL Preparatory school. A bad thing happened to her when she was aged 10. One terrible day, her brother Jed went out on his motorbike. A car hit him and he died. Emma was very, very upset when her brother died. Now, she was 13 and happy at school. She had a good friend, Aisha.

The friends did everything together. They played computer games, they went to the cinema, they laughed and they joked all the time. One evening after school, Aisha went round to Emma’s house. They cooked a pizza and went up to Emma’s bedroom. Emma got onto Facebook and she left a message for Tom, a boy in the same class as the girls. She told Tom that Aisha fancied him and wanted to go out with him! She thought this was funny, but when Aisha saw it, she was really angry. She shouted at Emma and soon after she went home. She fell out with Emma.

When she got home, Aisha got back on to Facebook. She wanted to get her revenge on Emma. She thought about what she could do. Then, she had an idea. She put a photo of Jed, Emma’s brother, on Facebook, with a cruel message. That message said, ‘Jed did not love Emma. She was a bad sister.’ When Emma saw this, she was very upset and she cried.  She knew that Aisha had done this bad thing and she could not understand why.

The next day, Aisha knew she had done something really nasty, but she did not apologise.
