Cyberbullying

This year you should be hearing about bully proofing the school as part of the character education program. But did you know that online bullying could be more pervasive than you think?



Three out of four teens were bullied online over the last year, according to a study released by psychologists at the University of California, Los Angeles. And while that number may seem rather high it is even more startling to know that only 1 out of 10 of those kids told their parents or another adult about it.

Most teens are afraid because they are sure that the adults don't understand the importance of this cyber networking in their social framework.
