Young people today are the first generation having to cope with cyber bullying, an insidious form of harassment that can take many forms:

- A bashing website where students are asked to vote for the fattest or ugliest kid;
- A student posing as a classmate and sending embarrassing emails;
- A group sending 100′s of coordinated texts to a victim resulting in excessive phone charges;
- An anonymous death threat sent via email.

The tactics used by the cyber bully are only limited by his or her imagination and their access to technology.

And cyber bullying is often times more devastating than traditional school yard bullying, because it's often anonymous and it can follow the victim anywhere. Even at home they don't feel safe.

"This informative and entertaining program... interviews adolescents about their cyber bullying experiences and interjects captioned commentary by educators and other experts, including Dr. Phil....The endearing narrator and easy-to-remember "Code of Conduct" repeated in songs and graphics make this a must-have program for middle school audiences."

School Library Journal May 2011 (Starred Review)

"Entertaining and informative... Given that two out of five kids say that they've been bullied in this fashion, this timely guide is recommended."
