摘要:In this paper, we analyze information collected from a variety of electronic news sources on cases of cyberbullying. Utilizing a case study approach, we examined in detail victims' experiences with cyberbu llying. Each case study involved a female teenage girl who committed suicide following repeated cyberbullying . Two of the three cases involved the sharing of explicit sexual material, which triggered further cyberbullying behaviors by the girls' classmates . All girls had tried to escape the cyberbullying behaviors by leaving school and/or switching schools , but they were intentionally and continuously targeted. In addition, the girls had prior suicide attempts before they committed suicide. We argue that parents should be aware of what their kids are doing online and establish rules for technology usage, and encourage their children to talk to them imm ediately if they are cyberbullied
