Cyberbullies often commandeer e-mail accounts and social-networking profiles, attacking kids while pretending to be someone they trust, like a best friend. They use cell phones and the Web to spread embarrassing and cruel material, and they can harass their victims well beyond the schoolyard -- even when they're "safe" at home.

2. Create an account to understand how the site works, but not to stalk your kids.

"Because being connected is such an integral part of teensâ lives, some youth may hesitate telling their parents about the harassment they encounter for fear that their online privileges will be taken away. The best way to combat cyber bullying or other forms of harassment is not to reign in or limit a teenâs use of technology, but to make sure adults keep the lines of communication open.

They should consider the Internet as an opportunity to engage in conversation with their children about their interests, talents, and network of friends. It is important to emphasize with youth that there is a distinct connection between what happens online and in the "real world."

Cyber bullying poses a stickier problem for schools that are finding themselves in the middle of First Amendment debates.

Texting and driving is a major cause of wrecks around the world, especially in teenagers. We have become so addicted to our phones that we can't even put them down long enough to drive to the grocery to store or out to eat with some friends. Driving requires your entire attention, but when your looking at your phone, you are not aware of your surroundings.
