3 INTERPRETATIONS AND REASONABLE CONCLUSIONS FROM THIS DATA Education on cyberbullying and cyber- behaviors needs to begin well before Middle. Children are all online by third grade and over 2 report experiencing problems with peers online. Elementary schools should consider adopting cell phone policies. By fifth grade, forty percent of children reported having cell phones. The Commonwealth should consider mechanisms for parent education. Most children own cell phones with full Internet and text messaging access by Middle. s need to ensure that their bullying and cyberbullying prevention programs are visible to students. Merely the fact of a program s existence is a way of impressing upon students the gravity of bullying and cyberbullying. Gateway behaviors behaviors that convey power and contempt, but do not generally break school rules (e.g., taunting, eye rolling) are the most common type of bullying reported across all grades. High rates of gateway behaviors being used against targets in the classroom (i.e., presumably while adults are present) indicate a need for training on responding to these behaviors. The locations where bullying is most frequent are those where supervision is frequently disputed or absent the playground (in elementary schools), and the hallways (middle and high schools). It is notable that classrooms are also high- frequency locations in middle and high schools. Preteens and teens do not report being victimized largely by strangers. Rather, the older the child, the more likely that child is to report that they knew the person who was cyberbullying them. Bullying between friends peaks for girls in fifth grade and remains high for girls in Middle. It peaks for boys in Middle and decreases for both genders in high school. This is an area of concern as it impacts the social development of the children involved. Children prefer reporting to parents and teachers while in Elementary ; that preference shifts to Friends and Parents among older children a normal developmental change. However, teachers and educators are among the last people pre- teens and teens prefer to report to, which indicates an area that could benefit from increased attention. 2
