He didn't have to do that. He didn't have to let those kids drive him to do that. It's up to us as students that when we see something like this happening online, we stand up for the victim, let them know they are on this Earth for a reason.

Don't let your child's profiles on social websites be available to everyone. Explain to your child why it's important to have the highest security and privacy settings. Parents should monitor their children's use of the computer while they're on the Internet.

Children and teens should think about who will be looking at their profile. Many people will be able to see their page, including parents, teachers, coaches, the police and the college or the job they might want to apply for in the next few years. They should post only the information they are comfortable with others seeing about them.

Merely deleting a post doesn't mean it's not still available for others to see in cyberspace. It is important for children and teens to know that once you press the "send" or "post" button, there is no going back. Think about keeping some control over the information you post. Consider restricting access to your page to a select group of people — for example, your friends or your family.

This is a copy of our school website, here you can see several other sources of information. We have a rotating picasa web album. A school calendar, and a news feed from our blog. I'm working on the alignment as I had an upload last week with a glitch, but it does show how you can have information from other places. We also have a youtube channel, facebook page, and Twitter account.

CBS)  Officials in Massachusetts believe there's been another deadly case of cyber-bullying in the apparent suicide of 15-year-old Phoebe Prince of South Hadley, Mass.

Prince moved last year to the area from Ireland. While making the transition to a new town and a new country, Prince, officials believe, became the target of intense cyber-bullying, which may have contributed to her apparent suicide.

Prince's unidentified friend said, "It just makes me sad that it takes the life of a young teenager who had everything going for her to bring the community together to have them realize how bad bullying is."

Meline Kevorkian, the author of "101 Facts About Bullying" told CBS News, "Cyber-bullying can be so dangerous because it can lead to cyber-mobbing, which means kids can come together to attack another kid, 24 hours a day, seven days a week."

A friend who did not want to be identified told CBS News, "She was being bullied because she was pretty and people were just jealous."Prince's classmate also said he was one of her closest friends, but she never revealed her pain.

This is completely out of hand. There is no reason that this girl should be dead. Cyberbullying is, I believe the worst form of bullying, because some of the people who bully others online don't have the guts to admit it face-to-face with their victims.

There is little doubt that cyberbullying, which can be the equivalent of "social death" for many young people, is traumatic. It differs from traditional, face-to-face bullying in that it is relentless and public and at the same time anonymous. Cyberbullying has turned the usual image of "the bully" on its head; it's no longer only the "tough kids" who may act aggressively – it can just as easily be the shy, quiet types, hidden behind their computers. Added to this is the potential presence of countless, invisible witnesses and/or collaborators to the cyberbullying, which creates a situation where victims are left unsure of who knows, and whom to fear.

Technology also extends the reach these young people have, enabling them to harass their targets anywhere and at anytime. While these situations should be reported, it can be difficult for young people to step forward: how do you report an attack that leaves no physical scars and is committed by a nameless attacker? Will the consequences of telling an adult that you are being cyberbullied be worse than the bullying itself? Adults want to help, but many feel ill-equipped to handle bullying in a digital world.

On social networking sites, you can now tag images with the names of people who are in the photo. This simple act can lead to cyberbullying, as these photos will appear in any search into this person’s name and it could be that misappropriated profile settings do not protect access to them.

Multiplayer online games and virtual worlds can be venues for harassment and cyberbullying when kids are playing or using the chat features to talk to other players. According to a 2008 Pew Internet & American Life Project report, more than half of teens who play games report seeing or hearing “people being mean and overly aggressive while playing”; a quarter of them report that this happens “often.”

Students need to know that cyberbullying is dangerous: it can take lives, it can ruin lives, and it is not acceptable behavior for us. We are supposed to be the enlightened generation, so why don't we act like it?

Cyberbullying is probably one on the worst kinds of bullying. Its a type of bullying that never stops and never goes away. Bullies who are online can cause people to take their own lives. This isnt acceptable behavior for anyone.

Cyberbullying is probably one of the worst types of bullying because you can't figure out who the bully is to put a stop to it. Cyberbullies don't know how serious this is, people take their own lives because of it.

"What is a copyright? A copyright is the set of exclusive legal rights authors have over their works for a limited period of time. These rights include copying the works (including parts of the works), making derivative works, distributing the works, and performing the works (this means showing a movie or playing an audio recording, as well as performing a dramatic work). Currently, the author's rights begin when a work is created. A work does not have to bear a copyright notice or be registered to be copyrighted. " the web site tells me all about what copyright laws and others are. I think that it is very useful to people, because it can help them learn more about copyrighting.
