Abstract
Cyberbullying has become a well-documented problem plaguing the mental health and
safety of teenagers in schools. An examination of the literature that includes other
complex social/emotional issues provides a framework for more effective cyberbullying
prevention and intervention strategies. This article examines current research, highlights
existing misconceptions, and re-frames misguided intervention efforts that have
prevented school counselors from effectively addressing cyberbullying. Considering
these past mistakes and current misconceptions, this article provides a new philosophy
with fresh approaches to cyberbullying for school counselors to accurately and
appropriately intervene in schools.
