I've been feeling quite a bit under the weather lately (literally with rain, falling temps, and changing seasons wreaking havoc on my lungs) and I have a new post half done on Love and Logic so stay tuned! In the meantime, here's a repost about Cyberbullying. I thought it would be of interest given the tragic and unfortunate deaths that have been in the news recently:
In the US, there have been at least four reported teen deaths in the last few weeks that are believed to have been a result of teen bullying. With the recent suicide of Rutgers University freshman, Tyler Clementi, this bullying has become an even more prevalent issue.
Clementi tragically jumped off a bridge after his college roommate uploaded a video of him having sexual relations with a man. The footage was recorded from the roommate's webcam, unbeknownst to Clementi. Are schools
failing students by not seriously addressing issues of cyber bullying and online etiquette

The article in the above link features four other links that provide even more insight on this issue.
