A decade ago, a chapter on cyber bullying would not have been included in a book of this nature because tweens and teens were limited to bullying the old-fashioned, in-person way. Since then, the rapid advance of technology has allowed kids to broaden their bullying horizons to the point where cyber bullying is now a serious issue. Cyber bullying is generally defined as deliberate ongoing intimidation, harassment, or threats conducted via any type of communication technology including e-mail, instant messenger (IM), chat rooms, social networking sites, cell phones, pagers, and more.
