What is the best approach to cyberbullying?

Cyberbullying can happen for a number of reasons, and it is interesting to note that it is not always intentional. At times, children may not even realize that they are involved in a case of bullying, and may be unaware of the consequences of their actions. Four types of cyberbullies have been identified by Wired Kids , and parents can be watchful for these types of behaviors in your child and their friends: * The "Vengeful Angels" see themselves as righting wrongs, or protecting themselves or others from the "bad guy" whom they are now victimizing. * The "Power Hungry" want to exert their authority, show that they are powerful enough to make others do what they want, and some want to control others with fear. * The "Mean Girls" are ego-driven bullies who are bored or looking for entertainment. * Finally, the "Inadvertent Cyberbullies" may be pretending to be tough online, or role playing, or they may be reacting to hateful or provocative messages they have received.
