What They're Saying...
"The workshop on Cyberbullying offered at NAU was informative and timely. I work with 7th and 8th graders, and "drama" is a very big part of their lives. You gave me tools that I will share with them so that they may be safe as they travel the cyber highway. The format of the workshop was refreshing. We were treated as professionals with respect and dignity, the opportunity to ask questions and share some experiences was very valuable." Wilma Robillard-Hoffman, Middle School Teacher, Mohave Valley School District

What's New at the Cyberbullying Research Center
Dr. Patchin and Dr. Hinduja have just received word that their research paper on "Bullying, Cyberbullying, and Suicide" has been accepted for publication in the academic journal Archives of Suicide Research.

If you'd like a copy of the full manuscript, please email them . They recently published findings from our research project entitled "Trends in online social networking: Adolescent use of MySpace over time."

We've had quite a bit of feedback regarding our recent post that discussed whether or not schools can discipline students for creating a Facebook page that is critical of, or harassing toward, a staff member.
