Students and staff will refrain from using communication devices or District property to harass or stalk another. The District’s computer network and the internet, whether accessed at school or away from school, during or after school hours, may not be used for the purposes of cyber bullying. All forms of cyberbullying are unacceptable and viewed as a violation of this policy and the District’s acceptable use policy and procedures. ○ Users are responsible for the appropriateness of the material they transmit.

Cyber Bullying. Next to sourcing and grooming, a second element of contact is cyber-bullying. We have observed from our investigations (1) the disagreements in definitions of bullying and (2) the variety of definitions. The disagreements are well documented in the literature (▇▇▇▇▇▇, 2007129; ▇▇▇▇▇, 2001130). Moreover the definitions may vary in many ways such as in (2a) type (▇▇▇▇▇ and ▇▇▇▇▇▇, 1998131), (2b) intentionality (▇▇▇▇▇▇ et al., 2006132), (c) degree of seriousness (▇▇▇▇▇ & ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ 2006133), and (2d) reference period (▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ and ▇▇▇▇▇▇, 2006). However for the purposes of our study, we will adopt the definition put forward by ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ (2003). Coloroso (2003) defines bullying as a conscious, willful and deliberate activity intended (1) to harm, (2) to induce fear through threat of further aggression, and (3) to create terror.134 In simple terms, we regard bullying on the one hand as persistent unwelcome behaviour which includes teasing, deliberately ostracising someone to assaults, and abuse.135 Cyber-bullying on the other hand, comprises “the use of information and communication technologies to support deliberate, repeated, and hostile behaviour by an individual or group, that is intended to harm others” (▇▇▇▇▇▇, 2008).136 129 ▇▇▇▇▇▇, ▇.▇., (2007) Update on bullying at school, 2007 Science Forgotten Review, Vol. 27 p. 90-126 in ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, ▇.▇ and ▇▇▇▇▇▇, ▇., (2007) The relationship between levels of perceived respect and bullying in 5th through 12 graders, Adolescence, Libra Publishers, Inc. p. 1-13, available at ▇▇▇▇://▇▇▇.▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇.▇▇▇/coms2/summary_0286-35987533_ ▇▇▇?▇▇▇▇▇=▇▇▇▇▇@▇▇▇▇▇.▇▇▇.▇▇&library= 130 ▇▇▇▇▇, N.
