cyberbullying research center   "This girl I used to have a crush on but later realized I didn't like her said some very rude things about me. She made a list of the bad things about me and the good things about her, and put it on her Livejournal (online journal) for me to see. She had moved away, so our only means of communication was computer. We argued because I am straight edge and she's does drugs. She said that all these people hated me and that I should do drugs. She said that because I once told her I felt sorry for her (she had a lot of family problems and I knew drugs weren't the answer) and she took it the wrong way." (16 year-old boy from California)

What They're Saying...
"The School District of Lee County thanks Dr. Hinduja for an outstanding workshop on cyberbullying. The audience included school and district administrators, attorney for the schools, school resource officers from law enforcement agencies, teachers and counselors. He provided exceptional information to a group that had a variety of needs without losing any of his audience. By using a mixture of powerpoints, videos and group activites, he kept everyone engaged, on task and communicated a wealth of pertinent and timely information." Jean Campbell, Coordinator, Safe & Drug-Free Schools, School District of Lee County
