  • "Our youth now love luxury.

  • BullyingBullying peaks during the middle school years, and online bullying carries its own set of heightened risks and considerations. Kids tend to be more likely to engage in bullying over the Web because it's harder to have empathy for your victim when you're not face-to-face with him or her. In online bullying, there is generally no audience who might rein in a bully by saying, "Hey, lay off." Others aren't aware of the bullying comment or action until after it has been posted for all to see. Adults can't overhear or witness what's happening when the perpetrator is alone in his or her room in front of a computer.
