Bullying and cyberbullying are events that are not occurring with less frequency as time passes. The results of a study by Sbarbaro and Smith [25] parallel data from previous studies showing the prevalence of bullying in the middle school years. The results from this study indicate a need to further identify influential factors revolved around bullying and cyberbullying. The current instruments, as well as others that may exist, should continue to be tested to see if there is meaningful data to apply and use within other summer programs in California, or other states, similar to the Summer Connection Program. In addition, future research on relationships among the variables within this study will enhance understanding of the risks associated with bullying and cyberbullying. Additional research should also continue examining gender and ethnicity differences related to bullying and cyberbullying, and how bullying occurs through electronic means via Web postings, e-mails, chat rooms and text messaging (cyberbullying).
