Cyberbullying is a big problem - that is why it is necessary to find possible solutions and prevent violent situations that could be caused by this unwanted behavior. This article will focus on the three most important areas of prevention: parenting, school and law. The analysis of these areas is very important, because it is seen that the world is not prepared to face the new theme of daily life. Additionally, it is very helpful if these three parties can collaborate to find the most effective way to solve this problem. As Hanah (2010) argues, many parents grew up in a society without modern technology such as cell phones or the Internet.

As a result, we can see that the first step for parents should be to participate in their child's cyber life. This step requires patience, but it is reasonable. In case parents already know how to work with the Internet, they have many options (Hanah, 2010). First, they can find children's Internet accounts and start monitoring their activities; the best way to do this is to form a virtual friendship with the child. Of course, the good idea would be to inspect the children's other friends. Hanah (2010) states that parents should use some traditional methods. They must choose limits on computer use in their family. Most importantly, it will work when they insist on their terms, even if their child isn't very happy about it. However, the best thing to do is to talk to a child about it. According to Hanah (2010), ...... middle of article ...... through inhibition of social sites and emails and this is the topic of a discussion. How far can schools go to protect their students? A compromise must be found between the two parties. A possible solution can be seen in future generations, as they will grow up with all the preventions surrounding them in a prepared world.
