A bully develops shortcomings and insecurities from home. The mental weakness required to be a bully is developed buy their rearing. Need only identify a bully and take a peek at why, how they came to be that way. You wont have to look very far. The internet is a new easy vehicle for their spineless behaviour, and it is not going away. So the Social Media Sites - need to simplify the process of eliminating the symptom of bullying, our Social System needs to eliminate the cause.Da Moderatorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09901694131078120563noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6166857565524883362.post-61401199653366897152012-10-12T15:20:44.949-03:002012-10-12T15:20:44.949-03:00i question why we continue to allow children have ...i question why we continue to allow children have a cell phone, a facebook profile, a twitter account...then get mad when they misbehave or do worse things on those forms of media...instead of questioning what we can do to stop bullying...how about pulling back the access we give 'children'...it's a different problem but the principle is the same...it goes to back to my confusion on 'children' aren't allowed to buy cigarettes and in theory society doesn't want them to smoke but yet schools had designated smoking sections for the kids...which everyone just likes to politely shrug their shoulders and say oh but it's off school grounds...so why is everyone so concerned about what we can do to stop somehting...how about we look at more ways to enforce it from even starting...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6166857565524883362.post-67429866681179070892012-02-13T20:51:26.409-04:002012-02-13T20:51:26.409-04:00Lets keep our fingers crossed that we do not have ...Lets keep our fingers crossed that we do not have to wait until the children that have been forced to endure cyber bullying, become of age to be able to develop the technology to combat this "electronic" school yard.Da Moderatorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09901694131078120563noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6166857565524883362.post-2876300341821678872012-02-13T19:17:03.299-04:002012-02-13T19:17:03.299-04:00I couldn't agree with you more.

The problem and the solution are significantly different for traditional vs cyber.<br /><br />I wonder when people are going to realize that yes, the internet is here to stay, it's 2012, let's stop pretending it is all so new. It is all our kids have ever known. When my parents went to school in the 50's, bullying assaults etc... were all there.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
