Questions:
15. According to the report “Teenage Life Online: The Rise of the Instant-Message Generation and the Internet's Impact on Friendships and Family Relationships,” what fraction of teens use IM to say things they don’t want to say in face-to-face conversations with their peers?
16. What are three tips to help stop cyberbullying or to prevent it from happening again?
17. What idea about school shooters did the analysis of forensic psychologists McGee and Debemardo help to popularize?
18. According to the U.S. Department of Education, how is bullying defined?
19. What are the cyberbullies' “weapons of choice?”
20. What are four steps regarding how to fight back against cyberbullies?
21. According to Carr, what might tempt bullies to new levels of cruelty?
22. According to Aftab, what percentage of kids between the ages of 10 and 14 have been involved in cyberbullying?
23. According to “MindOh!” Researchers, how do the styles of boys and girls cyberbullying differ?
24. What troubling questions does the Taft High School case raise?
25. According to Stover, what are students targeted by cyberbullies more likely to do?
26. Why are some students reluctant to tell adults about the anxiety they endure at the hands of cyber enemies?

Answers:
A. Up to 80 percent of kids between the ages of 10 and 14 have been involved in cyberbullying directly or indirectly.
B. 1. Don’t engage the person 2. Print everything out. 3. Change your screen name.
C. Students targeted by cyberbullies are more likely to skip school, have declining academic performance, and be depressed. Cyberbullying has the potential to leave a child miserable and discourage attending school, possibly resulting in declining academic performance, or even suicide.
D. Cyberbullies’ weapons of choice are e-mail, cellphones that can send text messages, and instant-messaging programs that allow users to chat electronically in real time.
E. Bullying is defined as: "intentional, repeated hurtful acts, words or other behavior, such as name-calling, threatening and/or shunning committed by one or more children against another. The victim does not intentionally provoke these negative acts, and for such acts to be defined as bullying, an imbalance in real or perceived power must exist between the bully and the victim. Bullying may be physical, verbal, emotional, or sexual in nature"
F. The lack of face-to-face contact might tempt bullies to new levels of cruelty. On the playground, seeing the stress and pain of the victim face-to-face can act as an inhibitor to some degree. In cyberspace, where there is no visual contact, you get more extreme behaviour.
G. According to the report, more than one-third of teens use IM to say things they don't want to say in face-to-face conversations with their peers.
H. Some students are reluctant to tell adults about cyberbullies because they fear that parents may overreact by taking away their computer, Internet access, or cell phone. Many teenagers are unwilling to risk having their parents choose such extreme forms of protection because, without technology tools, they would feel socially isolated and less able to stay in immediate contact with their friends.
I. Boys’ and girls’ cyberbullying differs because girls will attack psychologically, while boys threaten physically.
J. 1. Stay cool 2. Keep a log 3. Be prepared 4. Notify the school
K. The analysis popularized the idea that school shooters are awkward adolescents who had past histories of bully victimization and social isolation.
L. The case raises these troubling questions: If a student sends offensive material from his bedroom computer, what right do school authorities have to intervene? And on a purely practical level, is it possible to nab bullies and mischief-makers in the miasma of cyberspace?
