Cyberbullying is when one minor uses technology as a weapon to target another young person. According to StopCyberbullying.org, elementary and middle schools report cyberbullying as the most frequent problem they face. Most people think of cyberbullying as girl to girl. Girls become the more prevalent cyberbullies in middle school, harassing other girls and boys. Cyberbullying at the elementary school level is typically boy to boy due to the higher percentage of boys who play online games as opposed to girls.
Twenty percent of kids in the fourth through sixth grade have reported one type of cyberbullying when playing games, including:
— Password theft
— Accessing and stealing virtual items
— Mean messages
