Did they stop teaching “Sticks and stones will break my bones but words will never hurt me.”? Cause I learned that lesson in 1st grade I believe. Talk crap until you are literally blue in the face; I do not care. Have some self respect and confidence. Lack thereof is the true problem. Strictly a parenting issue if you as me.

The fact that bullying has gone from the physical in my day to the cyber of today is really not a surprise at all.

Bullies and bullying have been around for millenia.

Does your child have a “right” to possess a smartphone at school? Cyber bullying is hard to do without a device in hand from 8-3 pm.

Beyond enabling cyber bullying cell phones interrupt concentration and are generally disruptive. It is hard to argue otherwise.

Cell use affects the brain similar to illicit drugs. Do we send kids to school with drugs in their back pocket?

Cyber bullying would not be as big of a problem for schools if electronic devices were not allowed on campus. It is that simple.

Is ADHD really exploding or are our kids allowed to be distracted 24/7.
