UK PROFESSOR'S RESEARCH ON CYBERBULLYING
A University of Kentucky professor delves into what makes children engage in cyberbullying:
"Cyberbullying does not seem to be a behavior problem that is independent of traditional bullying in that offline victims are also at risk to be the victims online," Vazsonyi said.

Vazsonyi, who taught and conducted research as part of a Distinguished Chair Fulbright fellowship award to Masaryk University, said that cyberbullying is an important issue in Kentucky, the United States and across the world.
"Cyberbullying causes emotional damage," Vazsonyi said. "And, due to ever-advancing communications technology and the instantaneous nature of the messaging, its impact can be sudden and devastating to victims."
