Reading: Cyberbullying A Modern Problem
Cyberbullying a modern problem is a B1–B2 reading text addressing one of the most consequential contemporary social issues. The text covers cyberbullying forms (harassment, doxxing, exclusion, impersonation), where it happens (social media, gaming platforms, messaging apps), who it affects (teenagers most heavily, but all ages), and how to respond (reporting, blocking, supporting victims, school and platform policy). Learners read for problem-identification, severity assessment, and solution analysis.
This worksheet builds B1–B2 reading comprehension through a contemporary-social-problem text.

Cause-effect at B1–B2: how online behaviour leads to psychological harm. Solution-and-policy vocabulary: report, block, mute, moderate, intervene, support, escalate.
