Cyberbullying

While bullying probably goes back to the beginning of schools, it’s taken on a new face in the current Internet age.

I know many of us have been on edge since recent events in Lakeland, Florida, and Megan Meier’s tragic decision to take her own life because of a Myspace relationship gone badly still resonates with us. I know many are thinking, “where is technology taking us?”

Still, I’m sure most parents also wonder just how pervasive is Cyerbullying? Does it affect girls more than boys? How can we combat Cyberbullying. I’ll answer these questions in separate posts as best as I can and refer you to the experts when I can’t.
