Cyberbullying is all too common in Canada. One in five boys and one in three girls report being involved in cyberbullying. Name-calling, taunts or threats using a cell phone, email or posted on the Internet. These figures rank Canada as one of the worst in the world for cyberbullying, with higher rates than the U.S.

To see him today, you'd never guess David Knight was a bullying victim. The 23-year-old university graduate is working towards his goal of becoming a Canadian Forces fighter pilot. A few years ago though, Knight was forced to finish his last year of high school at home because he had become the victim of a vicious online bullying campaign that left him socially isolated and feeling utterly humiliated.
