 * Lundsten, Apryl. "Attacked Online." //Girls' Life// 16.7 (2010): 76. //MAS Ultra - School Edition//. EBSCO. Web. 25 Oct. 2010. Bullies prefer to bully over the web or texting because then the don't have to have the face-to-face confrontation. this article also has a couple more examples of girls who were bullied over facebook and called awful names.
 * Cloud, John. "Bullied To Death?." //Time// 176.16 (2010): 60. //MAS Ultra - School Edition//. EBSCO. Web. 25 Oct. 2010. President Obama has asked for a 12%increase for funding anti-bullying programs despite the recession we are in. I think this is a step but more still needs to be done.
 * [] Stop Cyberbullying Before it Starts! Parents can talk to their kids about cyberbullying and to not respond to the bully, to not get revenge on the bully, and they can always report it to an internet service provider. Parents need to focus on the getting revenge because nearly 30% of kids who were cyberbullied wanted to get revenge.
 * [] Single Dad Laughing: Bullies. "their not even human" It's hard to treat bullies the same as everyone else when you know what they have done. They are still human though and deserve to be treated like it. Treating them the same isn't going to make them stop but being nice to them might.
 * [] Cyberbullying. Nancy Willard has eight forms of cyberbullying. These include: Flaming:using vulgar words, Harassment:continuing to bug a person with vicious emails, etc, Denigration:spreading rumors, lies, gossip about someone, Impersonation:posting mean or agressive stuff under someone else's name, Outing:posting confidential information or images, Trickery:tricking someone to sharing personal information in which you then post online, Exclusion:purposefully excluding someone from a group, Cyberstalking:consistent harassement and denigration that causes fear of one's own personal safety.
 * Tormented to Death? Tyler Clementi killed himself after his roomate outed him being gay on the web. This is getting ridiculous! I understand that maybe some people don't agree with the gays or whatever but this is not the way to go about it. They are still people. How would you like it if this happened to you?
 * Confessions of a Bully. Some bullies may think that they are causing no harm and it's all just joking around or just fun and games. well to some people that you are doing the bullying to it isn't. it hurts. Some bullies don't even think that they are bullying. They don't think that what they are doing is considered bullying!
 * Phoebe Prince's legacy. Phoebe got called many awful names because she was hanging out with someone's boyfriend and she didn't know he was taken because she moved here from Ireland. She apologized many times after she found out but she still got threatened and harrassed many times. it got so bad that Phoebe took her own life.
 * I was Bullied. Mackenzie Spencer was taunted, teased, and threatened. this was all because she was dating a senior varsity hockey player and everyone was saying that she was ruining his life. this just goes to show that bullying can happen to anyone.
 * Because...I am gay... Joey Kemmerling was taunted because he was gay. one teacher of his even said, "could you be a little less gay?" really? that's ridiculous when even your teachers won't stick up for you.
 * We are Overweight. Alex and Philippe Haussmann were teased because they were both overweight. kids would trip them and one of them broke their arm from the fall. the kids would say, "nobody wants to be with you alex."
 * I am Biracial. Moriah Kilgore was teased because her parents were black and white. one time a little girl told her that it was illegal and her parents were going to go to jail. now she is comfortable in her own body and that's all that counts.
 * I am Muslim. Khoshnoor Paracha was made fun of because of her religion. People would run from her and say that she was a terrorist. this made her feel so bad to be lumped in a category with people who were terrorists. i know we have all made judgements against muslims expecially after 9/11 but this article made me think twice.
 * Just because...Jamie Isaacs was teased just because they had nothing better to do. they even went as far as to make a "I hate Jamie" club. she now goes to a school that does not tolerate bullying in any way.
