This book examines the different types
of cyberbullying, from posting unflattering photos online to sending threatening
text messages, the importance of avoiding these activities, and what to do if you are a victim of cyberbullying. Upper-elementary students who have an interest in the Internet should
take note of this new title on cyberbullying.
Written in an easy-to-read
style, the book teaches students
why cyberbullying occurs and the various effects that it can have on an individual. Whether it takes place via your computer or your
smart phone, cyberbullying can happen 24/7.
The author explains how to handle cyberbullying issues and where victims
can find
help. Because no one wants to be bullied in person or
through online communications, the author offers suggestions for ways to stop
cyberbullying. She touches upon the
ever-so-popular social media sites, such as Facebook, and basic text messages via telephone as key venues for
cyberbullying.
The author provides a timeline of cyberbullying, interesting facts, beautiful color photographs, statistics, lists of recommended books and web sites, important words, and an index. This title will help complement the internet safety curriculum that is mandated by many states for K-12 online education.

The topics covered include good manners, making smart choices, cyberbullying, and stopping bullying. These titles help readers to think critically about some of the everyday decisions they will face throughout their lives, from dealing with bullies to choosing a healthy diet.
