Catherine Devine had her first brush with an online bully in seventh grade, before she'd even ventured onto the Internet. Someone set up the screen name "devinegirl" and, posing as Catherine, sent her classmates instant messages full of trashy talk and lies. "They were making things up about me, and I was the most innocent 12-year-old ever," Devine remembers. "I hadn't even kissed anybody yet."
As she grew up, Devine, now 22, learned to thrive in the electronic village. But like other young people, she occasionally stumbled into one of its dark alleys.
A new Associated Press-MTV poll of youth in their teens and early 20s finds that most of them - 56 percent - have been the target of some type of online taunting, harassment or bullying, a slight increase over just two years ago. A third say they've been involved in "sexting," the sharing of naked photos or videos of sexual activity. Among those in a relationship, 4 out of 10 say their partners have used computers or cellphones to abuse or control them.

.... was Scut Farkus...so help me he had yellow eyes....
When I was in 2nd grade there was a bully named Mark. It was not cyber-bullying, it was the real thing. He would steal my milk money, knock my hat off my head, push me down, etc. I knew where he lived, so I went to his house and rang the doorbell. His mom came to the door, and these were my exact words:
Your son Mark is a horrible person. He picks on everybody. If you don’t do something NOW to straighten him out, he is going to die in the gutter when he grows up..
The mother started to weep, right there in the doorway, and Mark never bothered me again.
However he DID eventually end up dying in the gutter, a hopeless alcoholic.
That was in 1960, I think. I do remember that I was a 7 or 8 year old girl when I confronted his mother.
The elite want control over the internet badly.
Why are parents allowing their children to hang out on electronic media? That is an insane social environment and a waste of time for minors. It’s like sending them to hang out in da hood with the gangs, perverts and child killers.
We really don’t have to let them do what “everybody is doing.” I used to tell my sons “we are boycotting that” or “I am sorry you have mistaken us for a cool family, because we are not cool at all. We don’t do what everyone else does; we do what we want.”
Permitting children to invest their developing minds and personalities in such a dark and dysfunctional “community” is abusive and stupid.
