Emily, put your information on this page:

When your kids see a hurtfull and mean message on the internet or through a text message they should know how to take a breather and calm down. This website will show you how to teach your child how to do this, so they don't cause harm to anyone or lose control of the internet... because that can be very easy to do. When you feel threatened or someone hurts your feelings usually your first reaction is to throw it back at the person who is threatening you, right? Well I think if you are being bullied, instead of throwing it in your bully's face, you should advise someone who has the power to stop this threatening messaging. Don't delete the message because you want proof they're harassing you. Just take a few steps back, tell yourself that it's not going to break you (yes, it might hurt but NEVER let it break you).

Here is a website that makes bullying and cyberbullying easier for a younger child to understand. It shows them short cartoon videos, simple minded words to make it easier to understand, and it gives them an idea of what they can do if they whitness it at school. It also shows them how they can help prevent this happening around them.

Single Dad Laughing: This blog and the way Dan explains what he's been through is perfect. This is the stuff that the victims of any kind of bullying should read because they're not the only ones in the world who feel the way he explains bullying. I think its great that people are becoming more open and willing to tell their stories, or even family members telling of their childs torture story. Its not only a greiving process but a support for other people as well. I do agree that bullying has become more noticeable these days and I think it has something to do with the technology we have now. "Every bullied kid quickly learns that to do anything //but// shrug it off, will //always// make it worse." This is a quote from Dan's blog and I have a couple questions... Why shrug it off? Why didn't he tell anyone? I'm not saying it's his own fault for being bullied BUT it could have came to somewhat of an end. His stupid 5th grade teacher makes me livid because he could have helped him, but he didnt... like so many other teachers these days. They need to step up before these bully victims choose to end their lives.
