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...
"Drs. Hinduja and Patchin are not only the most knowledgeable team in the field of cyberbullying right now, they are the most engaging and fun. Their thorough discussion of the legal history of cyberbullying and free speech is fascinating, and is an essential building block of knowledge for educators and policymakers. Furthermore - at a time when keeping our kids safe while socializing online is more important than ever before - they share and detail practical strategies and solutions that school districts can and should implement today." Erika Dauber, Communications Consultant, The Ophelia Project
