Forms of bullying have occurred in American society for a long time, bred in part by a competitive social hierarchy. Technological bullying, known as cyberbullying, has allowed the problem to expand, become more elusive, and even harder to define. Case studies, statistical research, law cases, and news articles were analyzed to understand the issue of cyberbullying and to find preventative measures that should be taken. This study illuminates the background, legal struggles, clinical implications, and potential preventative steps concerning bullying and cyberbullying. Faculty mentor: Dr. Michael Frontani
