"Dr. Hinduja’s session was such an eye opener for me because it made me realize that school attendance is not just a simple problem. There are so many complex aspects of why children do not come to school daily. The session on cyberbullying put school attendance at a much deeper level for me. Based on what I learned my colleagues and I are in the process of preparing forums for students, parents, and school staff on the topic of cyberbullying. This is an important topic that all need to be aware of. We don’t want any more innocent youth hurting themselves or taking their lives because of this. Thanks Dr. Hinduja you are truly a genius in this area and I’m sure your research has helped a lot of kids and will continue to help them in the future."
