Extorting is like when someone takes your favorite toy and says you can only have it back if you give them your candy. It’s not fair because they are using your love for the toy to make you do something you don’t want to do. Extort means to make someone give you something by being mean or using tricks.
Think of it like a bully on the playground who says you can’t play on the swings unless you give them your lunch money. The bully is using their power to make you give up something that is yours. This is not nice and is called extortion.
Imagine a big brother who says he’ll tell on you for something small unless you give him your dessert. He’s using the secret to get what he wants, even though it’s not fair. Extorting is when someone uses something to make you do what they want, even if you don’t like it.
It’s important to remember that no one should take things from others by being mean or using threats. Everyone should be kind and fair, and extorting is not a nice thing to do.
