Retrieved from: http://www.ncta.com/PublicationType/WhitePaper/Cyberbullying-Damage-in-a-Digital-Age.aspx Cyberbullying can take many forms – sending hurtful text messages and pictures, posting cruel comments online, or creating fake Facebook or MySpace pages to impersonate other kids – and it can have a devastating effect, especially considering the amount of time kids today spend online, texting, and using digital media. While cyberbullying may start from home, it can quickly move to the school environment, yet many schools may not be prepared to address it. This timely white paper – from Cable in the Classroom partner Common Sense Media – is designed to help parents, educators, policymakers, and the online industry explore proactive steps to prevent cyberbullying, including through digital literacy and citizenship education programs. |
