Cyberbullying is a worldwide problem that needs to be addressed at home and in the classroom. We live in an age where young people in most developed countries own or have access to technologies that can be abused. We need to teach our children and students proper etiquette when using electronic devices. Education is a great way to help prevent young people from becoming cyberbullies and victims of cyberbullying.

​

Bullying is generally seen as intentional behavior to harm another, repeatedly where it is difficult for the victim to defend himself or herself. It is based on an imbalance of power and can be defined as systematic abuse of power (Slonje, Smith, & Frisen, 2012, p. 26).
