Concept Notes:

Social health involves your ability to form satisfying interpersonal relationship with others. It also
relates to your ability adapt comfortably to different social situations and act appropriately in a variety of
settings.
Peer influence also concerns you as adolescents. You are in the developmental stage wherein you build
lasting relationships with peers. Here are some issues that you may encounter.
1.
Cybercrime- any crime committed in cyberspace. “Cyber refers to a computer or computer
network, the electronic medium in which online communication takes place”.
To protect citizens from this concern, the government mandated Republic Act No.10175 or the
Cybercrime Prevention Act of 2012.The law mandates the prohibition of cybersex, child pornography,
unsolicited commercial communications, and computer-related identity theft.
2.
Child Pornography-refers to any representation, whether visual, audio, or written combination
thereof, by electronic, mechanical, digital, optical, magnetic or any other means, of child engaged or
involved in a real or simulated explicit sexual activities. Republic Act No. 9775 or Anti-Child
Pornography Act of 2009 defines the crime of child pornography.
Child pornography may also be syndicated if there are three or more persons confederating with
one another. It is not only the victim who can file a complaint, but parents or guardians, relative within
third degree, officer or social worker of a licensed child-caring institution or DSWD, barangay chairman,
law enforcement officer, at least three concerned responsible citizens in the same place where
pornography occurs. Once the victim is identified, he/she is subject to care, custody and treatment from
