-Students are increasingly using instant messengers, blogs, emails, social networking systems, and text messaging as a means to bully their peers.
-It is stated that because of the perceived hiddenness tha the internet provides to its users, students feel as though they can say things that they wouldn't normally say in person.
-They have this idea that they can get away with this type of bullying because there is no physical contact.
-This form of bullying is very hard to control, but we should make efforts to raise awareness amongst teachers, students, and especially parents about this type of bullying and its increase in our schools.
