Cyberbullying!

Have you ever heard of Cyberbullying?
I was reading a magazine called Woman'sDay,(September 2010 issue), and it says that %60 of high schoolers say they have experienced cyberbullying which ic through things like texting, facebook and YouTube.
They gave 11 warning singns, and if one or more of these behaviors persists, it could mean your child is being bullied.

• Has unexplained cuts, bruises and scrapes
• Comes home from school with torn clothing, damaged books
• Constantly loses school supplies or money
• Doesn't want to go to school; is afraid to ride the school bus
• Chooses an illogical route for going and from school
• Suddenly is sullen, withdrawn, evasive
• Seems socially isolated, with few, if any, friends; is rarely invited to parties or homes of other kids
• Complain of headaches, stomachaches; frequently visits the school nurse
• Has difficulty sleeping, bad dreams; cries self to sleep, wets the bed
• Appears sad or depressed
• Has a sudden and significant drop in grades, as well as difficulty focusing and concentrating.

React the right way:  find out the level of bullying, email or meet the teacher, report the harassment to your ISP(contact the company that runs the website, and ask them to take it off), if the bullying is physical call the police.
How you can help teens and "tweens" cope with this problems? You need to rebuild their self-esteem, create a network of friends, and teach them coping skills and assertiveness.

I thought this is important to know and be aware of.

 Please help stop bullying! If you know any other websites or articles I would be happy if you share it with me! :)

Also I found this video that shows how Cyberbullying is happening. Hope we can stop it!

Have a great day!
