2011
Cyber bullying is a fundamentally different type of bullying that needs special attention from parents and schools, in addition to existing efforts to address bullying in general
Cyber bullying is the same behavior seen in other forms of bullying, just through different technologies, and so it should
be addressed through existing anti-bullying measures among parents and schools
