A PSA With Alt and Alt 2.0 about Cyberbullying

This is a PSA with Alt and Alt 2.0, the computer robots from Pop'n Music.

Transcript:


 * Alt: (she's a robot so this is how she "cries") Sob, sob...cry, cry...


 * Alt 2.0: (notices Alt crying) Alt! (Runs up to her) What's wrong, sis?


 * Alt: Look at what someone posted on my Pop'nPage!*


 * Alt 2.0: (reading the comments on Pop'nPage that Alt pulled up on her screen) BigBully123-"You're fat and an AWFUL singer! Go get a life, computer-brain!" 01angel-"Hey! How DARE you say that to me! I'm not fat!" BigBully123-"Yeah, you're so fat that you get stuck in the hoop when you try to hula-hoop." 01angel-angry face*. Uh, why did you respond to him?


 * Alt: I didn't know what else to do!


 * Alt 2.0: Don't respond to cyberbullies. If you do, you're just asking to be bullied more. Bullies like to see you suffer.


 * Alt: What else can I do?


 * Alt 2.0: Save the evidence - take a screenshot or print it out to show a trusted adult, like a parent, a guardian, a teacher or a school counselor. If the website allows you to, block the bully too.


 * Alt: Thanks! I'd better tell MZD!


 * Alt 2.0: But first, I think you should know that if the bullying keeps up, report the incident to an administrator of the site. Many websites have safety centers where you can report cyberbullying.


 * Alt: Wow! Thanks a bunch!


 * Alt 2.0: Remember - be an upstander, not a bystander!


 * Alt: Now I know!


 * Alt 2.0: And knowing is half the battle.

*Pop'n Page is a fictional social media site I made up for the Pop'n Music universe.

*The "angry face" is ">:(".
