Campbell, "Cyber Bullying: An Old Problem in a New Guise?"

Abstract:
Technology has many benefits, such as for research, communicating with friend and family distant miles away and sometimes just having fun online. However, every good thing has a bad side to it, one festering problem with technology is the threat of cyber bullying. Social media sites and other technologies are being used to bully peers. However, this topic of cyber bullying has not received the attention it needs and remains absent from talks about problems to solve.
Key Concepts:
School yard bullying began to take notice and solutions to deal with it were made up due to the physical harm done in it's name. However, "a new form of bullying has emerged that makes use of of the diverse range of technology now available. 'Cyber Bullying', as coined by Canadian Bill Belsey, or bullying using technology, is a phenomenon that children and adolescents seem to be increasingly using to harm others" (69).
Examples:
An example outlining of this that a teacher scolds a student for picking on another student for their lunch money but lets any threats made online to slide by.
Critical Conversation:
According to Google Scholar, this reading has been cited 459 times. Critics may say that teachers cannot do anything about cyber bullying because they can be exposed to lawsuits for over ending their bounds and out of school area to deal with something not happening at school.
