Bullying–unwanted, aggressive behavior that involves a real or perceived power imbalance– is a problem that has plagued young children for generations. However, with recent technological advancements it has taken on a whole new look–cyberbullying–a type of aggression carried out through electronic means such as the internet, e-mail or mobile devices. According to NICHD, the National Institute of Child Health and Human Development, 20% to 30% of US students in grades 6 through 12 are bullied at school, and approximately 6% of US students in grades 6 through 12 are cyberbullied in school or elsewhere.
