Teen cyberbullying investigated : where do your rights end and consequences begin? by Tom Jacobs

Cyberbullying is a term that is becoming more common, but what is it? And what does it involve? This book is a collection of court cases involving teens and charges of cyberbullying. Some of the cases include sending insulting or threatening messages, spreading hateful comments, stealing passwords and sending out threatening messages using a false identity, and building a website to target specific people. The author urges teens to think about each case and how the decision affects their lives.
