Bullying, intentional harm-doing or harassment that is directed toward vulnerable targets and typically repeated. Bullying encompasses a wide range of malicious aggressive behaviours, including physical violence, verbal mockery, threats, ostracism, and rumors spread either orally or by other means of communication, such as the Internet.
Bullying in educational settings remains a commonplace everyday experience. In Europe significant attention to school bullying began in the early 1970s, in part because of the efforts of Olweus, as well as a widely publicized trio of victim suicides in Norway in 1983. A spate of school shootings in the late 1990s brought further media attention to the subject of school bullying, and concern was renewed during a later series of bullying-related suicides in Canada and the United States. A US national study published at the turn of the 21st century documented that bullying and other forms of aggression affected approximately 30 percent, or 5.7 million, middle-to-high-school students in the then-current school term.
Although the root causes of bullying remain unclear, its consequences for victims are abundantly apparent. The U.S Secret Service in conjunction with the U.S Department of Education found that bullying was a factor in the majority of “incidents of targeted school violence” in the last two and a half decades of the 20th century. Victimization is also significantly related to suicidal ideation, social isolation, anxiety and depression, low self-esteem, physical health problems, and diminished academic performance and school attachment. Many of these effects can last well into adulthood.
However, victims are not the only ones who suffer from bullying. For many outcomes, bully-victims often fare the worst on a variety of measures, but pure bullies also experience difficulties. They are at increased risk of subsequent mental health problems and are likely to encounter difficulty maintaining positive relationships as adults. More significantly, bullies are considerably more likely to be convicted of crimes and incarcerated as young adults.
Some youth nevertheless use bullying as a way to gain social status among peers. These adolescents may be more strategic in how they choose their targets, and they are also likely to be among the more popular students in school. For at least some of them, bullying and harassment effectively boost their status and influence among schoolmates by winning the admiration of peers or by tearing down social rivals. Generally speaking, however, bullying is more effective at harming victims than aiding aggressors

Kids have always looked to their peers for recognition and self-worth, especially teens. That's nothing new. But in today's social media culture, it's easy for young people to become unable to stop thinking about their online popularity. Instead of determining their popularity by the number of friends they have in real life, adolescents are increasingly evaluating their social status and self-image by the number of people who follow them on Twitter or "like" their selfies on Instagram or Facebook.
The pressure to be popular can be hard enough on adolescents, but when the popularity contest moves from high school hallways to social media networks, it can be really overwhelming. Teens may become stressed, anxious, and even depressed as they spend more and more time creating their online identities in order to gain favor from other social media users. Social media peer pressure can cause young people to post risqué pictures including half-naked selfies or party pictures in an effort to be liked online. Unfortunately, this strategy often has damaging results.
Research suggests that teens are relying more on social media for emotional support than traditional sources of encouragement such as a face-to-face conversation or a phone call with a friend. The problem with this trend is doubled. First, social media has made it more challenging for parents to keep up with their kids' peer groups, and secondly, it appears that online friendships can be even more influential than their real-life relationships, making digital peer pressure a real concern.

Sustainable Tourism in UNESCO World Heritage Marine Sites
1. On 5 December 2024, managers from 51 UNESCO World Heritage marine sites joined an online meeting with experts from UNESCO and the International Union for the Conservation of Nature (IUCN). The meeting aimed to provide site managers with knowledge and tools for sustainable tourism management. This would help them implement strategies to monitor and protect their sites from the harmful effects of over-tourism.
2. Tourism and UNESCO World Heritage marine sites are deeply interconnected, as these flagship marine protected areas (MPAs) often become major tourist destinations, drawing visitors from around the world. While tourism can foster economic growth and offer social benefits to local communities, it also presents risks. Uncontrolled development and excessive visitor numbers can threaten the integrity of these sites, especially as they face challenges like climate change and biodiversity loss.
3. During the meeting, managers shared their experiences and strategies. The Great Barrier Reef in Australia presented its sustainability framework, focusing on Protection, Presentation, and Partnership. This involves conservation, educating visitors, and using data to adjust management strategies. In Palau, the Rock Islands Southern Lagoon emphasized community-based efforts, strict visitor regulations, and cultural awareness, including the Palau Pledge, where visitors promise to respect the environment.
4. Global experts also shared effective practices for promoting sustainable tourism in protected areas. Peter Debrine from UNESCO highlighted the importance of managing visitor data and involving communities to protect these sites' Outstanding Universal Value (OUV). Arnau Teixidor from IUCN shared tools for promoting ecotourism and measuring impacts in Mediterranean marine areas. These approaches demonstrate how collaboration and innovative strategies can help balance tourism and conservation in marine protected areas.
The word their in paragraph 1 refers to __________.
Read the following passage and choose the best answer to each of the following questions from 23 to 30.
1. A group of teenagers and young adults from the U.S. and the U.K. are among the most common cyber attackers today, according to Charles Carmakal, the CTO of Mandiant Consulting. He shared this information during a media briefing at the RSA Conference. They typically speak English as their first language and are very skilled at tricking people, also known as social engineering.
2. These young hackers were responsible for some of the biggest cyber attacks last year, including breaches at companies like Twilio, Uber, and Okta. The attack on Twilio affected at least 163 other victims, making the damage even worse. Carmakal said, "We've seen very young individuals break into some of the biggest organizations by leveraging these techniques that are so hard to defend against."
3. These attackers use personalized tricks to convince people to visit harmful websites and share sensitive information, like passwords and multi-factor authentication codes. Carmakal explained, "It's all traversing through the cellular network so enterprises aren't able to even monitor this and detect it," making it harder for companies to protect themselves.
4. Groups like Oktapus and Lapsus$ are known for using threats and harassment in their attacks. They target not only companies but also the families of employees. Carmakal shared, "It's a very different story if you're an executive of the company, and your daughter is being harassed by a threat actor." These personal attacks often make it more likely for victims to pay the ransom, as Carmakal said, "Your desire to pay or your willingness to pay shoots up tenfold when you're dealing with personal attacks."

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions.
Nepal has made important progress over the past few years to promote equality, but the country still has one of the highest rates of child marriage in the world. 41% of Nepalese girls are married before the age of 18.
Poverty is both a cause and consequence of child marriage in Nepal. Girls from the wealthiest families marry 2 years later than those from the poorest, who are seen as an economic burden, and who drop out of school and earn little money.
Food insecurity plays an important role too. Nepalese families that do not have enough food to eat are more likely to marry their daughters at a young age to decrease the financial burden. One study shows that 91% of people who had secure access to food married over the age of 19.
Dowry is also common practice in many communities. Parents marry their daughters as soon as possible because the money they have to pay to the groom’s family is higher if their daughter is older. Since 2010, the legal age of marriage is 20 for both men and women, or 18 with parental consent, according to the Nepalese Country Code.
The law states that punishment for child marriage is imprisonment for up to three years and a fine of up to 10,000 rupees (£102). But reports suggest that this law is rarely applied. There has been quite a lot of progress in Nepal over the past 3 years with a clear government commitment to ending child marriage and civil society cooperation. The Ministry of Women, Children and Social Welfare is currently developing Nepal’s first national strategy on child marriage in collaboration with UNICEF Nepal and Girls Not Brides Nepal. However, the post-earthquake and post-fuel crisis environment has meant progress is slow and the national strategy has been delayed.
