Cyberbullying defined, is the use of e-mail, instant messaging, chat rooms, pagers, cell phones, or other forms of information technology to deliberately harass, threaten, or intimidate someone (whatis.com). Much of what our students and staff experience however, might eliminate the word "deliberate" and add "humor" as a defining purpose. Cyberbullying's predecesor-bullying, was confined to a moment or phase-easily dismissed with a lecture and a hug. Modern technology provides a world wide stage for tangible humiliation, leaving little room for "forgive and forget."

Student, Jesse and former teacher, Jolita fell victim to poor character NOT technology.
