ROTW: Cyberbullying and online teens

My latest Report of the Week (ROTW) comes from the Pew Internet and American Life Project:

Here’s a quote from the report:

There’s one MySpace from my school this year. There’s this boy in my anatomy class who everybody hates. He’s like the smart kid in class. Everybody’s jealous. They all want to be smart. He always wants to work in our group and I hate it. And we started this thing, some girl in my class started this I Hate [Name] MySpace thing. So everybody in school goes on it to comment bad things about this boy.

Happy reading!

Thanks for sharing this, Scott. I just did a paper on cyberbullying for a school law class. This is a great resource for anybody whose job it is to address bullying both on- and off-campus.
