When 13-year-old Katie recently went online，she couldn't believe that some classmates were making fun of her.The seventh grader from New Jersey discovered mean and hurtful comments written about her in an online Web journal.
    "It was really offensive（无礼的）and upsetting to me because I knew everyone could see it online，" Katie told Weekly Reader. "There was nothing I could do to take it down."
    For many kids like Katie，Cyberbullying（网络霸凌）has become part of everyday life.Most cyberbullies are between the ages of 9 and 14.Studies show that about 55 percent of kids in grades 4 through 8 have had mean or hurtful remarks made to them online. "Cyberbullying is a huge problem in fourth，fifth，and sixth grades，" said Aftab，an online safety expert.
    Why is cyberbullying such a growing problem？For starters，kids spend a lot of time online at both home and at school.Ninety-three percent of American kids have computers in their homes，according to the U.S.Census Bureau.
    Online experts say being mean online is easier because computers give kids a sense of being anonymous（匿名的），or not being known.Kids say things on the Internet that they would never say face-to-face.
    Some kids also don't realize that they're cyberbullies because they don't see the consequences of their actions. "In face-to-face communication，we see when we've gone too far，" Aftab says. "We lose all those visual cues online."
    To address the problem，more schools and communities are educating kids about online etiquette（礼仪）and are holding anti-bullying seminars.Aftab trains groups，called TweenAngels and TeenAngels，to become safe and responsible cybercitizens who share their knowledge with others.
    TeenAngel Kendall，12，experienced cyberbullying when kids at school blocked him out of gaming sites.His advice for dealing with a cyberbully： "Don't be afraid to tell your parents，teachers，or whomever you trust the most."
