Cyberbullying and Online Harassment
The Internet is an ever-changing source of information. Inevitably, some of the links below will stop working. We will do our best to keep links current and remove broken links.
There is a great deal of misleading information on the Internet about the pervasivness of cyberbullying. Often the statistics depend on the sampling method or student population studied. While we don't believe that cyberbullying is "epidemic" as some news reports suggest, it effects a great many children/teens and deserves everyone's attention.
