Read the story of Sandra below. Then answer the questions.

Sandra is planning a birthday party. Her parents have set a limit of 15 children, so she
can't invite everyone she'd like to. Two children who were not invited - Jack and Maya -
overhear the plans. They decide to spread mean rumours about Sandra using an
anonymous messaging app. They write things like:
"Sandra is so not cool not sure why anyone would go to her filthy house."
"I heard Sandra is having fruit instead of cake. Yuk!"
"Sandra is totally boring and I don't know why anyone would go to her party."
They encourage the students who were invited to the party to add reasons to why Sandra
"isn't cool" and tell them not to go to her party.
When Sandra logs onto the app and sees the messages, her stomach sinks. She feels hurt
and embarrassed and doesn't know who's posting the messages. She tells her parents
she's sick, so she won't have to go to school the next day. She even thinks about
cancelling her party.

3. Why do you think Jack and Maya acted the way they did?
I thtink that Jack and Maya acted the way they did becouse they felt bad knowing that Sandra

decided not to invite them to her party. Maybe thay already had a low self-esteem, and
_________________________________________________________________________
not being invited to a party made them feel sad or unaccepted.

bullying?

see the comments, but she doesn't know who's posting them.

c) It is less hurtful because Sandra doesn't know who is being mean.

my friends to knwo what they tought about the messages that they recived. Anywais
