IntroductionEducators attempt to provide safe and nurturing environments in which students can thrive. Any disruption to this climate can have negative effects on students' academic performance. Bullying is one of these disturbances. Unfortunately, physical and verbal abuse is not new in school settings, however, the rise of technology in our country has created a new environment for bullies to target their victims. Cyberbullying, or the use of a number of technological means to harm or harass others, has become an increasingly prevalent phenomenon, particularly among school-aged children (Campfield, 2006). In this literature review, the unique aspects of cyberbullying and its relationship to traditional forms of bullying will be examined. Educators must understand the complex nature of this beast if they are to deal with it effectively. Additionally, this review will examine the predictors of youth aggression and how these factors can be addressed to combat bullying of any kind in the school setting. Review Since cyberbullying is a relatively new phenomenon, there is some degree of variation in its definition. In its early days, it was thought that cyberbullying was limited to the Internet. However, the rapid creation of new technologies has expanded the boundaries to include cell phones, instant messaging, chat rooms, and e-mail (Campfield, 2006). Campfield (2006) conducted a study with middle school students to determine the incidence rates of cyberbullying. She found that almost 70% of students were involved in cyberbullying in some capacity, either as bullies or victims. In a similar study, Li (2007) found that 39% of students had been involved in cyberbullying, while 52% knew that one of their peers was being harassed by electronic means......amid 'a sheet of paper......f bullies, victims and bullies/victims.
