# data[].attributes.body
For me the most challenging activity is <<Encouraging my studens to speak their minds when the topic is quite sensitive>>.  Nobody likes being exposed to ridicule, nobody likes feeling vulnerable, everyone is brought to shut himself up when talking about sorrows, inner feelings and sense of insecurity. Besides it is important for children to have a peaceful and respectful atmosphere in the class, that is very difficult for teachers to obtain and mantain it.

It seems to me that the most challenging item is encouraging the student to speak their minds about sensitive topics because when the students (especially the one involved in some episode of cyberbullying) find the courage to speak about it, it means that a lot of work has been done and that the solution is near.

I think the most challenging item is "Encouraging my students to speak their minds when the topic is quite sensitive" because the students that may need to speak more may be the ones that are too shy to express their opinon.

Although we have seven-year-old students, we often try to talk about the risks and the correct ways to deal with the digital world.

We have a very wide range of students in our school from a very wide range of backgrounds and there are some strong opinions held by some of them.

At first I found it difficult to start this kind of discussion because I knew that all I say and how I say it's important for the future understanding of this situation (cyberbullying).So I talked to people and gathered information on the topic and now I have some resources to help me. But most of all I worry about questions that I won't be able to answer right away.Changes happen all the time, it's impossible to have all the answers, but students are always waiting to get the necessary information when they need it.This is not a reason for me not to act and I hope in time I will learn more and know to answer the most of the questions in order to surpass this challenging aspect.

In my case, encouraging my students to speak their minds when the topic is quite sensitive is the most difficult aspect of dealing with cyberbullying.
Students really care about their peers' opinions and this means that they don't want to disappoint their friends and implies that sometimes they won't do the right thing or tell a friend they're doing wrong for fear of losing them. This could lead to restraining from speaking one's mind in class too. Also, sometimes some topics are an open wound (for example body image, or being rejected by peers) for some students and talking about them can only exacerbate this pain.

The first one. It is very difficult to know the right answer to any one student's problems, as different situations often require different approaches and it may take a few attempts to find the right solution. This can be worrying as you don't want to feel as though you have let a student down, by not having the right solution straight away.

I would say the  most difficult things is Encouraging my students to speak their minds when the topic is quite sensitive. Normally, in a class discussion, there are always some students who will join in and contribute ideas, but there is a group who is too shy or insecure to participate. You want to get ideas from everybody, but shier students will have a hard time when the topic is especially sensitive.

I believe it is Encouraging my students to speak their minds when the topic is quite sensitive. Children at this age are very sensitive and closed if some tricky topics are concerned. They almost do not share such things with their parents. That is why we need to encourage such a way of expression. First of all create a positive atmosphere so that they feel free and without fear. To create a feeling that they can trust us and we will do everything we can to help them.

They are afraid to be laughted at. Some students are shy therefore they are sensitive about their emotions.

Karen Farrugia, Malta.
Karen Farrugia, Malta.   

This is something very fresh as I happened to discuss it with my pupils this morning since it was part of a discussion in a Religion lesson. What I emphasized most was that they should always find a buddy they can trust to help them speak about anything that might be bothering them in front of a grown up. They must never be afraid of anyone that might be bullying them in any way but they should always speak up. I also spoke to them about the bullies who one day could have been victims themselves.  So if they speak up both situations can be addressed, that of the bully and also that of the victim. They seemed to open up and participated well in the discussion
I think "Finding the right resources and ideas for activities to start the discussion with my students" should be the bigger challenge.

'Encouraging students to speak their minds when the topic is quite sensitive' would be the most challenging because I find that some children who find themselves in certain situations like being bullied or the like tend to have a low self-esteem and therefore find it difficult to share their experiences, especially in front of others. However, at our school we have a designated teacher who has a lot of experience with such situations.

In my opinion the most challenging aspect of dealing with cyberbullying in my classrooms is encouraging my students to speak their minds when the topic is quite sensitive.  This can only happen if there is the degree of confidence and trust needed to make them feel confident about me and my role but also about their peers who are ready to speak and share experiences about the topic. 
This is the reason why if we decide to set up an effective support scheme we have to choose the right peers and to make the students feel comfortable enough to open their minds and talk about every existing or hypothetical issue or problem .

I find especially challenging two of them, the second and the fourth ones. The second because is important to foster a comfortable class climate for our students to feel confident but at the same time it is challenging for me to research, ask experts, find resources to start a diacussion with a minimum of spectatives for success. If I learn first I also feel more confident with such a delicated situation as cyberbullying cases.

For me the most challenging aspect would be encouraging my students to speak their minds when the topic is quite sensitive. The reason of my concern is that no matter how hard you try, sometimes there is the chance that some students won't feel confident enough to share their thoughts. That's why creating a respectful and inclusive environment in class is my main objective.

Well, my pupils are very noisy when there's some subject that is not a classic lecture. So they keep question and sometimes I think I don't have a right answer. But, the key is a conversation.

Teacher is not the owner of the one and only truth (which is an utopia). If we have created a classroom climate of trust, sharing, discussion, respect then maybe....maybe we are lucky to see our students speak their minds. In such cases  the hard thing is to find out who faces problems and make him/her to ask for help and not really what is the "solution"-best case scenario for that problems.

The most striking challenge is encouraging and encouraging young people to speak openly about sensitive issues, especially when this concerns them.

In our school we already have a peer-support beginning with 12 years old students until 18. We meet with them, 6 teachers, once a week in order to check if there have been any problems and to try to look for solutions

# data[].attributes.body
In my opinion, students must feel easy to talk to their teacher and share with them anything that concerns them. If this is achieved on behalf of the teacher then it is easy to set up an effective peer-support scheme.

# data[].attributes.body
An effective peer-support scheme is based on students' understanding what school will do for well-being. Having meetings or assemblies with students could be a beginning step about the process. Introduced peer-support system to the students, peer-supporters can apply to join the training sessions. On the other hand, positive school climate could be a key word for implementing those steps. Challenging issue for me to find the right resources and ideas for activities because I have tried different activities the most important part is to practice an activity in the classroom with a joyful! Not enough just teaching:
