>I have a presentation that I do on this topic that is based in the recent =
research from the pediatric journals on bullying. I take the approach that =
this is really an old problem in a new venue (thus the title). You can acce=
ss the slides at http://www.slideshare.net/bigenhoc/cyberbully-slides-2010.=
However, the video that plays of several of the slide will not play across=
this medium. If you are interested in the content and how I used the assoc=
iated media, contact me off list and I will gladly share. This presentation=
focuses on the act of bullying and takes a research approach with current =
data from PEW, several major studies on bullying as published in pediatric =
journals and the American Educational Research Association journal Educatio=
nal Researcher. I was surprised from my research to learn that child psycho=
logists identify chronic bullying of an individual as 3 or more events in a=
given year. This means that real lasting damage can be done in a very shor=
t amount of time.

>After firmly establishing this as a sociological, behavioral problem that =
must be addressed at the human level, I share what makes this "new venue" u=
nique in the world of bullying (i.e. Why we must pay special attention to t=
hese new "spaces"- text, phone, online. In the end, this is a message about=
empowering everyone (students, teachers, parents) to do something about th=
e problem. It is about giving students the voice to say "No... You may not =
bully my friend, you may not bully my classmate." It is about making people=
aware of what constitutes bullying and the effects it has. It is about inv=
olving the entire community in ongoing efforts through targeted education r=
ather than special assemblies etc. This is a complex problem requiring a co=
mplex and sophisticated approach to address. The studies on the effectivene=
ss of intervention programs is sobering. However, that research points to a=
comprehensive approach as having the greatest efficacy.
