Agaston, "Students' Perspectives on Cyber Bullying"

== Abstract ==
This reading was about a study done to see the effects of cyber bullying on students and what needed to be done to prevent further torment to students affected by this. While bullying that occurs in school, teachers and school staff help deal with this and help the victims out. However, cyber bullying occurs outside of school hours but the effects of it can carry over into school. In the study, females were the one to point that cyber bullying was an issue but one that was not talked about in school, given awareness, or even dealt with to help students cope with such issues. The authors of this reading concluded that cyber bullying be given more awareness and be included in bully prevention strategies. 
== Key Concepts ==
The main take away from this article was that since technology is integrated into our society today, we see more sophisticated cell phones in which you can access social media sites with ease. The authors of this reading state "schools are encouraged to adopt bullying prevention programs that include classroom lessons on cyber bullying to ensure that students understand that targeting classmates through negative messages or images online or through through cellular phones is a form of bullying" (43).
== Examples ควย ==
An example of this carrying over into the school is one of a student being tormented on something like Facebook and being told that they are fat and shouldn't be eating. The next day the during the lunch hour, that student may choose not to eat any food at all because then perhaps they would look better to their bullies. This is an appropriate example because the victim is being bullied outside of school hours but the consequence of it is carrying into the school.
