Cyber-bullying is common among teenagers. A lot of students harass each other through electronic devices and social network. According to a survey, female students are often cyber-bullied, and they are more stressed than ever. "Ten percent of middle school students reported that their life was very stressful in the past 30 days, with females more stressed than males." Cyber-bullying effects teenagers in negative ways, such as abuse of alcohol and drugs, skipping classes, and having lower-self-esteem. Therefore, these students need a special education strategy and program about stress management and control. Educators should play an important role in preventing cyber-bullying by exploring ideas such as homework-free weekends and free time at the end of the school day for seminars about healthy ways to manage stress.
