#9 Cyberbulling

I found an article based off Elementary cyberbulling.  It was full of statistics and major findings that I thought were very important to point out.

- Elementary school children are in so much technology now a days that cyberbulling is becoming a preventlent problem.
-Online games are a favorite of these elementary students, which is where most cyberbulling occurs.
-Facebook is right along with those games. In 2012, 49% of 4th, 5th, and 6th graders. This number is constantly growing.
-Cell phones are the next biggest thing for an elementary student to have. In 2012:
           3rd graders- 22% percent
           4th graders- 35% percent
           5th graders- 52% percent

-Smart phones are increasing as well. The smart phones give kids unlimited access to the social media.
-Over 72% of the bullying is classified as anonymous.
- Bullying occurrences are mostly one time, as opposed to repeatedly.
-The students are reporting more and more of the bullying to end it in schools as opposed to not saying anything about it.
