Cyberbullying
Kids have been bullying each other for generations.
The latest generation, however, has been able to utilize technology to expand their reach
and the extent of their harm. This phenomenon is being called cyberbullying, defined as:
“willful and repeated harm inflicted through the use of computers, cell phones, and other electronic devices.”
