Virginia University Builds State’s Largest Solar Project Cyberbullying has become a national epidemic. More and more teens and young adults are taking their own lives because of constant online harassment, and it is an issue that has no easy fix. According to the Cyberbullying Research Center, cyberbullying is defined as “willful and repeated harm inflicted through the use of computers, cell phones, and other electronic devices.” But of three people interviewed at Empire High School — a school that uses laptops as its primary source for educating — only one included text messages in their definition of cyberbullying. In addition to that, none of the interviewed parties mentioned repeated or multiple attacks in their definition. This brings up the idea that knowing the problem is the first step to beginning to solve it.
