"Once viewed as harmless teasing, cyberbullying (bullying through the use of electronic devices) now accounts for the majority of abusive behavior among teens. Taunts and threats formerly confined to written notes and conversations in the halls now flows freely from one cell phone to the next before finding their way online and into a chatroom or onto a MySpace page. "    (From the article, "Bullies on a Virtual Playground…Sticks and Stones No Longer Needed" by Joe Bruzzese, MA)    Part IV of The Bully Police E-Book covers all aspects of Cyberbullying and what can be done to stop it.    "...children and teens feel that bullying and cyberbullying, is not just a big problem, but perhaps the number one problem they face every day.  In survey after survey, they see bullying as a bigger problem than peer pressure, drugs, drunk driving, cultural diversity, or the pressure of sexual promiscuity."   (From the "The New Wave" section, by Adrianna Sgarlata)
