Cyber Bullies

Physical altercations are actually the least common form of bullying, according to sources. By definition, “Bullying is the conscious, willful, and deliberately hostile activity intended to harm someone else for pleasure,” Bullying is more widespread in schools than many people believe. “The Kaiser Foundation, in conjunction with Nickelodeon, found that 86 percent of students—boys and girls—between the ages of 12 and 15 get taunted or bullied at school,”
The fact that girls can be bullied or bully others may seem unusual to some, but experts familiar with the issue say it's surprisingly common. “Everyone always felt that boys do more bullying.”Some experts believe that times have changed. “Girls actually bully more than boys,” says Michelle MacPherson, a social worker with the Department of Family and Community Services in New Brunswick.“ At one time, boys bullied more than girls, but now girls are much more physical. When you factor in the verbal and relational aspects of bullying, they're bullying a lot more than boys.”http://www.cbsnews.com/video/watch/?id=681927n&tag=related;photovideo
