When bullying becomes virtual

Bullying and aggressive behaviour is something that has been a problem even before technology was involved. Technology has allowed individuals to hide behind a keyboard and verbalise more than they would in the company of the other person. So how do we address the issue? What exactly do we monitor? Do we look for the behaviour in the child that may be bullied? Do we monitor the online communication between peers? Or do we interact with individuals in an environment where empathy, morals and ethics can be discussed face to face?
