Cyberbullying-An Epidemic

Another type of bullying is cyberbullying. According to stopcyberbullying.org, cyberbullying is when a child, preteen or teen is tormented, threatened, harassed, humiliated, embarrassed or otherwise targeted by another child, preteen or teen using the Internet, interactive and digital technologies or mobile phones. According to CBS News, at least 42% of students across America have been victims of cyberbullying. This number will only continue to rise since technology is becoming more and more a part of education and students’ lives. Check out this CBS News video for some more information.
