Cyber-bullying

Cyber-bullying has become as common as bullying that done in person. My niece has experienced cyber-bullying. I didn’t really understand the concept of it, until I asked her what was going on. She stated that there were a group of girls sending her mean massages through MSN messenger. She said when she sees theses girls in public or in school they don’t say anything to her. Even though those girls were being mean to her over the net, it affected her. Her feelings were touched. I just encouraged her not to listen nor let the girls bother her. I really didn’t know what to say to help her with the cyber-bullying. I just gave her advice not to fall into cyber-bullying when she becomes the one that’s bullying.
