Cyber Bullying

Cyber bullying is a serious issue affecting high school students, with a 2008-2009 i-SAFE survey revealing that 57% of students reported hurtful interactions, either as perpetrators or victims. Additionally, 59% experienced mean comments online. Cyber bullying is defined as the repeated, intentional harassment using electronic communication. While the Constitution protects free speech, specific anti-bullying laws vary by state, with Ohio recognizing it as harmful online behavior, while Indiana currently lacks enacted legislation. Awareness and education are crucial in combatting this issue.
