Bullying has been a problem for as long as adolescents have had to navigate the social landscape. In the past, however, bullying could be confined to confrontations within the school day. Now, with social media, texting, and email, bullying extends outside of the school space. It can be pervasive, multimodal, and even anonymous, with the potential to “go viral.” What does this mean for adolescents, for their sense of self and their moral development?
In this Discussion, you analyze the phenomenon of bullying through the lens of a moral development theory. You also consider the evolution of bullying due to modern technology.
