 Welcome to Digital Stories. Digital Stories is a special collaboration between West Sussex County Council and Get Safe Online. And it's all about trust and respect online. So we're going to hear about four really interesting characters. We're going to hear about Jeff and Layla and their child, Sonny. And last of all, Nanny Sue. The story I'm about to share is called Respect Online Video Game Challenge. Sonny has been playing a difficult video game with her friends. But what happens when she wins a level and her friends don't? Sonny is playing an online video game with a group of friends from school. Sonny and her friends have been stuck on a difficult level for a while now. Layla checks in with Sonny to see how the game is going. Hi, Sonny. Why do you look upset? I know you've been trying to get to the next level for ages. Do you and your friends need some help? In between sobs, Sonny says, Ava and my other friends didn't get to the next level. But I managed to do it this time. That's amazing. You've got to the next level. Why aren't you happy? asks Layla. Ava got nasty and called me a name. I thought getting to the next level would make me happy. But now I'm sad. Oh, Sonny, that wasn't very nice of her. Perhaps you need a bit of a break from Ava while she thinks about what she said. What about your other friends? She got the others to call me names too. That's why I'm so upset. They all hate me. I feel like saying something mean back. Tell you what, why not come off the game for a little while for a break to cool down? When you next play with your friends, maybe you could share your tips about how you got to the next level. When you're playing a game or chatting with your friends online, it's really important to be polite and not say nasty things about other people, even if you don't like them. There isn't any good to come out of saying hurtful things to or about people, whether they're your friends or not. If this happens to you, your parents or another adult you trust will be able to give you some advice. What a fantastic story about keeping safe online.
