Adolescents in school that are having trouble with cyberbullying do not have to try to
handle things on their own. This article shows the aspect from which schools try to do
something about cyberbullying. There are teachers taking into account to try to help out
these students. The idea of responsible internet use is talked about and how discipline is

needed to take place for those who cyberbully. Even schools can not prevent this alone.
Teachers and parents come together to better assure the safety of the child. The student
can lean toward the school so that they do not have to try to fight this problem alone.

The article touches on the basics of cyberbullying but one of the other things it talks
about is the difference between traditional bullying and cyberbullying. It takes about how
much more dangerous it is for victims of cyberbullying and how it impacts their lives and
emotions much more. It touches on how being harassed through the internet rather than in
person, or traditionally, has a much more likely outcome of the result in suicide. This is
evidence that cyberbullying can affect someone's life so much to the point where they
take their own lives. Also, an extremely important section of this article is where they
talk of and collected data on coping strategies. Some of the ways to deal with the
situation were ignoring or avoiding the person, speaking out, lashing back at them or just
trying to stay positive.

As my most up-to-date source, the article talks about the dramatic increase in
cyberbullying in the last decade. It talks about the typical victims of cyberbullying,
majority being kids in middle school around the ages of 13 and 15 years old. And not
only does it discuss the impact on these victims but the motives behind the perpetrators.
A student's way to cope is talked about and it dives into prevention methods. They
discuss how schools try to help handle these kinds of situations and how they actually
have fairly high success rates in what they do.
