Deleting Cyberbullying

The best way to combat Cyberbullying is to teach our children Cyber Citizenship Skills, or Netiquette from early on.



This PSA from the Ad Council really demonstrates the nastiness of cyberbullying and also emphasizes one of the problems with cyberbullies: their lack of empathy over the Internet. Most kids would never say or do what they say and do online in person (they wouldn't have the courage or the heart,) but there is obviously a major disconnect between what kids think of as "real" and online life. A big key to ending cyberbullying will be overcoming this disconnect.
