(for parent)
Your kid will get cyberbullied, I'm sorry, but at some point it will happen. It is a 100% blessing in disguise, though.
With me, it helped me toughen up, and pushed me to grow up all that more, because not everyone and everything in life is going to be nice, and the sooner someone learns that the better.
(for teacher)
If a child comes to you for help about bullying virtually verbally or physically please find some time to talk to them and help them, it would mean so much to them.
It's actually really hard to ask someone for help as a child in these times.
Best wishes,
Xannie

Cyber bulling is just like bulling, only it occurs through text messages, facebook, and other chatting sites. Cyber bulling is a serious for of bulling and should be handled correctly. All you have to do to avoid cyber bulling is make sure you don't leave a mean comment, send a mean text or anything like that. If you do, you will upset other people, be seen as a bully, and might be bullied in response.

Cyberbullying: Harassment That Never Ends
Cyberbullying has become the fastest growing form of bullying and can be much more damaging and harmful than the traditional schoolyard bullying. Those who have been bullied and have themselves been bullies show a higher incidence of anxiety, depression and absenteeism than those who were only bullies or only victims. Those who had no involvement in cyberbullying had the highest self-esteem and academic performance.
With the more traditional schoolyard bullying, it all ends at about 3:00 p.m. and you get a break from it, assuming you return to a supportive home life. With cyberbullying, the attacks may be there 24/7 and can spread to thousands in just days. There is no supervision, so how do you stop it?
