Cyber-Bullying

See how experts view the growing problem of online bullying and learn about ways you can protect your children.

Cyber-Bullying: Statistics and Tips: Bullying is no longer about the strong picking on the weak in the schoolyard. The physical assault has been replaced by a 24 hour per day, seven days a week online bashing.
Cyber-Bullying: An Old Problem With a New Face: Harassment used to occur in the writing on the bathroom stall, but with 99 percent of teens being wired, harassment has evolved with technology.
Study: One in Four Teens Are Cyberbullies: Internet researcher Michele Ybarra says one in four teens are cyberbullies, and that 6 percent of them harass or bully others online frequently. I've never thought of myself to be a Pollyanna, but that seems high to me.
Cyberbullies: Cleverer Than Your Average Bully: Typically, when most of us think about cyberbullying, we think about one person (usually a child) saying something mean or disparaging to another in an online environment. But, in fact, cyberbullies can and do rely on more than just words to harass.
Toward Solving 'Cyber-Bullying': Educators, online-safety advocates, and many other adults often use "cyberbullying" as a blanket term for all that and more, basically any sort of harassment online.
