About Cyberbully411

Cyberbully411 is an effort to provide resources for youth who have questions about or have been targeted by online harassment. The website was created by Internet Solutions for Kids, Inc with funding from the Community Technology Foundation of California.

We would like to thank the young people at SOY (save our youth) girls and the Orange County Youth Commission for their help and sharing their stories.

Most of the data and information we talk about on this site is based upon three national surveys of young people online. The Youth Internet Safety Survey 1 was conducted in 2000 and the Youth Internet Safety Survey 2 was conducted in 2005 by Dr. David Finkelhor and his colleagues at the University of New Hampshire. You can download reports about these surveys as well as other articles by going to their web site: www.unh.edu/ccrc. The third national survey, Growing up with Media, was conducted in 2006 by Dr. Michele Ybarra and colleagues at the Johns Hopkins School of Public Health, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, and Harris Interactive.  The reports are still being written, but we hope they will be publicly available soon.
