If you are a parent now, you most likely did not grow up with the same methods of bullying
some children today are facing.
Back then: No internet, No webcam, No chatrooms, No facebook.
Acc. to Canadian Kids Help Phone survey: 33% of kids have talked to someone online theyve never met. 30% have emailed a picture of themselves.
Most kids are afraid to tell their parents about cyber bullying.
Educate yourself on what cyber-bullying looks like-- you'd be VERY surprised.
And talk to your kids about making smart choices online, and how to report/stand up to online bullies.
This is a GREAT informational article/link about Cyber Bullying......

And yes, the author is American, but the concepts are very real, and will be extremely eye opening to you as a parent.
God bless you! Keep your family internet safe! :)
