Cartoon Strip!

The comic strip I created, titled "Say No to Bullying," focuses on the importance of recognizing and preventing cyberbullying. In today's digital world, students encounter online interactions every day, and unfortunately, some of these interactions can be negative. This comic highlights how awareness, support, and action can make a difference in creating a safe and positive online community.

The comic is made up of six sections. It begins by showing a student who is visibly upset after experiencing cyberbullying. This sets the stage by illustrating that online bullying can deeply affect students emotionally, even though it might not happen face-to-face. In the second panel, a friend notices that something is wrong and offers support, showing that recognizing when someone is hurting is the first step toward helping.

The next sections demonstrate the importance of speaking up. The friend encourages the student to report the bullying to a trusted adult. A teacher listens and takes the situation seriously, modeling how adults should respond when students come to them for help. The comic then shows a group of students taking action by forming a "Kindness Online" pledge, committing themselves to creating a more supportive online environment.

The final panel brings the story full circle, showing the student happy and feeling safe online again. This ending reinforces the message that when students stand together, promote kindness, and address problems early, they can truly change the online culture for the better.

Overall, this comic illustrates that cyberbullying can happen to anyone, but it also shows that positive actions—like noticing, supporting, reporting, and promoting kindness—can stop the cycle. It encourages students to be active participants in building a respectful online world and shows that small actions can lead to meaningful change.
