[YSPNetwork] Cyber-bullying

[Donna NOONAN]

YSPNetworkers,
 
I am copying another email, this one about cyber-bullying with a link
to a newspaper article at
http://www.courier-journal.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=2006612280386
 
FYI, Oregon has an expert in Cyber-bullying in Eugene,  Nancy Willard
MS, JD, Director of the Center for Safe and Responsible Internet use at
http://csriu.org/. She has another website specific to cyber-bullying at
http://www.cyberbully.org/.
 
Here's the article: 
 
Cyber-Bullying Linked to Teen Suicide, ViolenceThe Louisville
Courier-Journal recently featured a story on the growing and disturbing
trend of cyber-bullying circulating through schools across the nation.
The Courier-Journal reports that a 2004 national survey of 1,500 fourth-
through eighth-graders found that more than 40 percent had been bullied
online. Less than half had told their parents. More than 20 percent had
received mean or threatening e-mail. The story can be read on the
newspaper's Web site at
www.courier-journal.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=2006612280386.  
With best wishes in the new year,
Donna
