Imagine you are running for a Presidency on Student Supreme Government (SSG) in your school and you are faced with these issues
ad-work [718]

The correct answer to this open question is the following.

What I can advise my fellow students to win the election would be the following.

I would tell my fellow students that my priority will be to end cyberbullying.

I would create an awareness campaign against cyberbullying and invite community members to participate. The basic points of the campaign would comprise the following.

1.- A testimonial campaign on Yo*tube and other social media channels.

2.- A series of conferences on the school premises with experts.

3.- Continual posts through the school's social media.

4.- A workshop with psychologists and family members.

Cyberbullying affects students in many ways, not only physically or emotionally but academically too. The consequences are diverse but the impact is similar.

Bullying can harm other students. It can be light damage or serious harm, depending on the aggression. Victims of bullying feel impotence because they can defend themselves or answer the aggression back. This creates many bad emotions that affect students emotionally and mentally.

That is why my commitment will be to end this inhuman practice and support respect and tolerance.
