TOGETHER FOR A BETTER INTERNET

Bella is a shy teenage girl. She doesn’t have many friends because she thinks she is not beautiful.

Other children are sociable, outgoing and cheerful and they have fun together but they don’t talk or share something with Bella.

She feels lonely and upset.

She even doesn’t have online friends. She has social media accounts but her classmates do not accept her friend requests.

She follow them and she feels depressed when she sees their happy, cheerful posts.

She lost her self-confidence. She is lucky about her family. Her parents love her so much that they do whatever she wants or doesn’t want but that is not enough.

What is wrong with her?

Why is she different from other children?

Why can’t she become friends with others?

She tries to find online friends but they always want her to send a photo. When she sends, they do not write her again.

She thinks she is too ugly.

She is not a beautiful girl, she has a lot of acnes but she is a good girl.

Why nobody sees this?

One day, she received a message. She started to chat with him.

She was very happy. They went online for hours.

Months passed and they chat everyday. She is very happy. She doesn’t care about others anymore.

She doesn’t want to loose him. And she does whatever he wants. She trusts her because they have been friends for 6 months.

But her life turns into a nightmare suddenly. He wanted private photos from her. She didn’t want to send but he threatened her to not to speak with her.

She sent but he started to threaten him to publish them on the Net.

She wants to die.

Her family realized that and convince her to tell. She told them. She is surprised when her parents hug her.

They went to police station and the man was found. He was 45 years old and he was not the person he pretended.

She was too lucky by telling her parents everything.

There were a lot of hidden dangers and bad people behind the screen.

You should share everything with your parents, teachers and  someone you trust.
