Bullying Online

from the sticks-and-stones dept

USA Today has a story about how kids have moved into cyberspace to bully each other. There's even a site (currently down) specifically for kids to post rumors about each other. It seems pretty cruel. However, maybe this is the chance for the geeky kids to get back at the big dumb bullies (according to all TV programs about high school, every high school has a big dumb bully, so it must be true) by attacking them online.
