next week

Script:

Mai: So at our club meeting last time, we decided to plan our campaign around bullying among teenagers. We also thought that it'd be useful to do some research on the topic before this meeting. So what have you found out, Mark?

Mark: Well I've learned that there are three main types of bullying-physical, verbal, and social bullying.

Mai: I guess physical bullying involves violent behaviour such as hitting, kicking, or pushing people.

Mark: That's right. And verbal bullying means using words to attack others, such as shouting at, or saying something offensive to them.

Mai: What about social bullying?

Mark: Well, it happens when people keep telling lies or bad things about someone behind their back, or making them feel ashamed in public.

Mai: That's very mean. As we use more technology, bullying is also becoming more common on social media.

Mark: That's cyberbullying, which takes place over digital devices such as mobile phones and computers. People sometimes tell lies or post offensive comments about someone else on social media.

Mai: My friend was the victim of cyberbullying. Some people kept posting very rude comments about her weight on social media. She became very upset and cried a lot.

Mark: I'm sorry about your friend. Body shaming is now one of the most common forms of cyberbullying.

Mai: I agree. So let's meet next week and start planning our campaign.

Technology has made bullying _________ common.
