Cyberbullying has become a new and growing problem in today's society (Hanel, Trolley 33). On May 9, 2007, the Minnesota State Legislature amended the original 2005 bullying law for the first time in an effort to strengthen it (Minnesota State Legislature, “Approved 2005,” “Amended 2007”).

Therefore, schools have difficulty trying to differentiate, understand, and identify all types of bullying (State of Minnesota, “Amended 2007”). In this article I will compare the bullying laws between Minnesota and New Jersey.

This can be achieved by requiring schools to adopt a policy that includes mention of both traditional bullying and cyberbullying. Furthermore, the policy should explicitly define both types, with an emphasis on cyberbullying. The policy must also set out the actions the school must take following each incident. First, I provide basic information about bullying. There are two types: traditional bullying and cyberbullying. Both types need to be addressed, because...... middle of paper ......ta-weak-bullying/>.Weber, Tom. Part 3: School boards sought a weaker law. np, May 16, 2011. Web. October 29, 2011. Weber, Tom.
