Casey loves playing video games on his computer, especially those that allow you to link up with your friends and compete against them through the Internet. Casey has always been gaming partners with his friend Boris. Together, they are almost unbeatable whenever they compete as a team against other teams online. But one day, Casey tells Boris he has found a better gaming partner and he doesn’t want to play as Boris’ partner anymore. Boris is outraged that he has been “dumped” as a gaming partner for someone else and he begins to tell other people on the gaming network that Casey “sucks” at all video games and that no one should ever be his partner unless they want to lose really badly. Soon after these statements are posted online, Casey’s new gaming partner dumps him and no one on the network wants to be his partner. Casey feels completely hopeless and alone.
What are your thoughts?
- What should Casey do about his situation?
- Whom should he tell and what should they do?
- Can this example really be called a case of cyberbullying?
This isn’t about the picture but it was the most relevant place to post,
Another really cool website is…

Interesting find Erika, do you think it would be useful if we had ‘recommended websites’ post?
Now let’s turn our attention back to the matter in hand…
Yeah!!! It would be really cool to have that 😉
Hello!
*What should Casey do about his situation?*
I think he should say sorry to Boris and try to make up. Then he should try to prove his worth to everyone else so that others want to play with him.
*Whom should he tell and what should they do?*
He should tell a trusted adult and maybe the company who made the game and report the ones who may have bullied him for ‘sucking’ at the game.
*Can this example really be called a case of cyberbullying?*
It could because Boris started spreading rumours and saying he was bad at the game, which wasn’t true. Therefore it could be because bullying is usually telling lies and rumours to make yourself feel better about your situation and make others feel like they’re less than you, which is what Boris is doing.
i think she should speak to an adult about it and be friends again with her first partner
