Bullies, no longer content to taunt their victims in the playground, are turning to the Web.
They are using e-mail, text messaging and social-networking sites in new forms of victimization, according to Canadian researchers.
Cyberbullies are even forcing their girlfriends to undress in front of Webcams and then sharing the images with others online.
"They're pressuring each other. This (pressure) is particularly for girls to send pictures of themselves with their tops off," said Faye Mishna, a professor at the University of Toronto who has been researching the cyberabuse of children.
"Girls might send (a photograph) to their boyfriend," Mishna said, after being convinced that only he will see it. "So she gives in, and the next thing you know, it's all over (the place)." Link
