cyberbullying research center   "Two of my friends didn't like one of our teachers, and we found out that she was on a dating website. So they created a fake guy that was perfect for the teacher and chatted with her and stuff. They even set up dates with her and then went to the meeting place to watch her get stood-up. They always had the guy come up with some excuse for not making it to the date in order to keep the harassment going. I felt really bad for the teacher when my friends told me what they had been doing, so I told her about it without telling her which students it was because I didn't want my friends to get into trouble. She was really hurt by it...I could see it in her reaction to me telling her. She thanked me and told me that telling her was the right thing to do, but she ended up quitting her job and we had a substitute for the rest of the year, who was absolutely terrible. My friends never got into trouble for it because they were never identified as the culprits. I sometimes think that I should have given up their names, but then they could have done something mean like that to me too. They didn't even know that I told the teacher or that they were the reason that she quit. It was terrible." (14 year-old boy from WI)

What They're Saying...
"I enjoyed your cyberbullying workshop in North Carolina today. It was very well organized, clear, and reflected your obviously extensive knowledge of the subject. You also responded to questions very sensitively, and I was particularly impressed with how respectfully you interacted with [a sixteen-year-old in the audience]. As I told you at the end, of the hundreds of professional presentations I've heard in my 37 year career, yours was clearly in the top 5%. I've also ordered your book and look forward to learning more about this important subject." C. Drew Edwards, PhD, ABPP, Clinical Child Psychologist and Adjunct Associate Professor of Psychology, Wake Forest University
