The use of online technology is exploding and is increasingly becoming a favored form of interaction. While most online experiences are neutral or optimistic, the Internet offers a new form of bullying children and young people. The goal of this approach to grounded theory was to discuss technology, virtual relationships and cyber bullying from student perspectives. With 38 students between fifth and eighth grades, seven focus groups were held. Due to the related anonymity, the participants found cyber bullying to be a serious problem and some described online bullying as more extreme than 'conventional' bullying. While the students presented anonymity as central to cyber bullying, the results indicate that most of the cyber bullying took place in their social groups and relationships. Five key themes were exposed in the findings: technology adopted at younger ages and being the dominant communication medium; cyber bullying concepts and views; cyber bullying factors; cyber bullying types; and informing adults. The results show the difficulty of the Internet's assumed anonymity and how this can affect cyber bullying. The research provides greater understanding for children and adolescents of the meanings of online relationships.
