Is Cyberbullying REALLY a problem?

One study determined 49 percent of surveyed students, ages 13-18, had been cyberbullied (Raskauskas, Stolz, 2007).

Pew Internet's (2007) report says 32 percent.

Another one reported 33 percent. This particular study also reported that 41 percent of youth did not tell anyone about the bullying (Patchin & Hinduja, 2006.)

Regardless the differences in percentages, the cyberbullying trend needs immediate attention by all invested parties.
