Cyber-bullying study

Most schools now have anti-bullying programs. But are they effective against cyber-bullying?

According to the minister for education and training in Western Australia, up to 15% of students have been harassed over the internet or by mobile phone.

The WA government is funding a five-year study to find out how to reduce cyber-bullying. Professor Donna Cross from Edith Cowan University is directing the research.
