This study also followed these kids from grade eight through to grade nine, in order to provide a plethora of information as well as to see how they changed over time. The results of this research, as stated previously, were quite similar to that of Holfeld and Leadbeater. Cross et. al were able to find that most students were not involved directly in cyber bullying. (Cross et. al, 2015, p. 10) Due to the longitudinal
