Dealing with Cyberbullies

Recently I saw an article by Mindi McDowell that addressed the issue of cyberbullies – people who use technology to harass (or bully) someone else. McDowell says that cyberbullying can range in severity from cruel or embarrassing rumors to threats, harassment, or stalking. It can affect any age group; however, teenagers and young adults are common victims, and cyberbullying is a growing problem in schools.

The full text of McDowell’s article is at http://www.us-cert.gov/cas/tips/ST06-005.html. It’s worth reading.
