If you have a teen or need to deal with online harassment this book will make wonders. Practical exercises, tech tactics, and teen vocabulary helps you understand the mindset of a bully.
Five real scenarios are described and explained as to how it should be addressed on specific times like the Digital Pile On or when everyone jumps on top of one unfortunate soul. The Rating Sites for unflattering pictures of the victim. The self-described Imposter Profile. The Hater's Club or the fueling on each other's hate against the victim.
Some still think is the media propaganda which counts on cyberbullying. But if you have been witness of this degradation, you know is not about propaganda. Watch what your minor is doing on the internet.
