Cyber-bullying is a term more and more people are hearing. For those that are experiencing it first hand, the term and the memories it leaves will last a lifetime. Cyber-bullying is very similar to the traditional form of bullying that we are all aware of, except that the offender uses e-mail, instant messaging, web sites and many other forms of technology to bully their victim. It has been said that kids can be cruel, but “kids with technology can be cruel on a world-wide scale.” (Sullivan, 2006). Parents, educators and children need to learn everything there is available about cyber-bullying, including how to prevent it and how to put a stop to it.
