Bullying 24/7 (Cyberbullying)

I was thinking about kids and cyberbullying this afternoon. I had spent all day at a conference, and thus had not checked my email since early morning. As I was sitting down to log onto my email, I realized that I was feeling somewhat tense, because I was thinking about a couple of emails I had recently written where I was not sure how the recipient would react, and I was worried about that. This train of thought led me to thinking about kids and online activity, why cyberbullying is such a huge change for children, and why it can be so destructive for kids.
