To best prevent cyberbullying, the girls could opt for positive and supportive actions. The most constructive reaction would be **to help their classmate report the comments to a teacher.** This approach encourages addressing the problem directly, seeking help from an authority figure, and showing solidarity with the victim.
The other options, such as promising to ignore the comments, posting inappropriate comments about others, or suggesting that bullying is a normal part of growing up, would not effectively combat cyberbullying and could perpetuate the cycle of negativity and hurtful behavior. Instead, promoting kindness, empathy, and accountability is essential in dealing with cyberbullying situations.
