Placeholder Image
As more students have access to texting and social media sites such as Facebook and Twitter, cyberbullying has become more common than ever. According to a survey conducted by McAfee, a computer security company, "29 percent of 10 to 17 year olds said they've been cyberbullied, and 52 percent said they know someone who has experienced cyberbullying." In the U.S., seven states have "added off-campus harassment to their bullying laws in recent years" according to Fox News.
