I was bullied back in high school, over 20 years ago now. It frightens me to know that the kind of bullying that I endured could be 10 times worse now for kids because of the internet. Thanks for providing a detailed article on this since awareness needs to be spread and it is a serious issue.

ReplyDeleteYes, I was also bullied a while back. It has scarring affects on you and it frightens me more that bullying has advanced the same way technology has.
