Abstract

Abstract Cyber bullying is a psychologically devastating form of social cruelty among adolescents. This paper reviews the current policy vacuum of the legal obligations and expectations of schools to monitor and supervise online discourse, while balancing student safety, education, and interaction in virtual space. The paper opens with a profile and conditions of cyber bullying using an analogy to Golding’s (1954), Lord of the Flies. The anarchy and deterioration of unsupervised adolescent relationships depicted in the book are compared to the deterioration of social relationships among adolescents in virtual space. A discussion of the institutional responses to cyber bullying follows. Finally, emerging and established law is highlighted to provide guidelines to help schools reduce cyber bullying through educational means that protect students and avoid litigation.

摘要网络欺凌是一种摧残青少年心理的社会残酷行为。本文回顾了当前政策真空中的法律义务和学校监督在线话语的期望，同时平衡学生安全、教育和虚拟空间中的互动。论文以戈尔丁(1954)的《蝇王》(Lord of The Flies)为例，介绍了网络欺凌的概况和情况。书中描写的无监督的青少年关系的混乱和恶化与虚拟空间中青少年之间社会关系的恶化进行了比较。接下来将讨论机构对网络欺凌的反应。最后，重点介绍了新兴法律和现有法律，以提供指导方针，帮助学校通过保护学生和避免诉讼的教育手段减少网络欺凌。
