If you are a parent of an adolescent or an educator, this book is a must read. As the authors have stated, the impact of students using computers, etc. has had not only a positive but also a negative impact on the learning environment and safety issues within our schools. Cyberbullying in its infancy is creating an epidemic of problems. Awareness of the problem, what schools and parents should do to address cyberbullying, how the different states and schools systems view cyberbullying, and current resources are discussed by the authors. It is a compilation of the most current research.

This book is an excellent resource for educators and parents because the authors have significant expertise in both traditional bullying and cyber bullying. They have conducted extensive research on cyber bullying, and are able to provide insignt into and context for this emerging youth health risk as a result of their backgrounds. Thus this book allows the reader to understand cyber bullying not just as a "technology problem" but under the broader topic of bullying and relational aggression.

My insight from this book is that prevention of cyber bullying among youth needs to be addressed as part of a comprehensive bullying prevention effort in our schools and communities, not as a mere cyber safety lesson.

I spent a lot of time researching a good book on the subject of cyberbullying. I found this book to be the most informative, well written, and illuminating. The authors are obviously experts in the field and document their statements with research. They give a broad overview of the subject and then offer concrete suggestions to parents and teachers for combatting the problem. I appreciated their Intervention Tips and I found suggestions there for new ways of monitoring children's use of the computer. This is a must read for any parent -- and educator -- as the authors also include a separate chapter on What Educators Can Do. As a parent, I also found that chapter helped me see how I might work with my child's school to control bullying and cyberbullying.

This book is timely and a wealth of information. The matrix is a practical and logical approach to dealing with cyberbullying for school leader. These authors understand the seriousness of cyberbullying issues for students and school administrators and brought valuable scenarios to the reader. This is a must read for every school administrator.

I love this book so much. It was super informative and a wonderful read. Would definitely recommend to anyone interested in cyber bullying and the effects it has on children. Thanks!

I am taking a class and signed up for Cyber Bullying. This book is fantastic! It tells you all about the traditonal forms of bullying and then compares it to cyber bullying. The research was an eye opener. Perfect book for parents and how they can intervene should cyber bullying take place against a child of theirs. Also what educators can do. The school is a mighty force in protection and education regarding bullying.

I am always anxious to start reading. I would recommend this book to anyone. Cyber bullying is getting out of control.
