It might surprise their parents

Should read,

It might surprise the old media.

[Harmless Teddy Bear]

The magazine reports on a Clemson University survey showing that over one-fifth of children in eighth grade, those between 12 and 14, have been victims of on-line bullying, which includes receiving ugly text messages or being hurt by on-line rumors.

In the old days they used to just pass notes.

Well, the universities haven't gotten ahold of them yet.

More proof that the DUmmies are aborting and euthanizing themselves out of existence. Maybe it isn't such a bad thing after all.

They should read some of threads here on Free Republic to find out how naive it is considered to favor traditional moral standards in our day and age--even among self-described conservatives.

But today's early teens face new issues their parents, and even older siblings, never faced, like cyber-bullying, according to Time.

Say it ain't so! Poor little things. They'd've been better off aborted.

Cyber bullying...

Well big whoop-de-doo. I remember when it was nose to nose.

[SunkenCiv]

Ping!

[ozarkgirl]

I'd like to see a study if it changes by the time they're 15-17 years old.

thirteen year olds are fairly conservative

The ones that matriculate to college will be appropriately "corrected" with proper Orwellian indoctrination.

The others will just go to work and, sooner or later, be pilloried by FR market worshipers.

Democrat Media polls will say what they want it to say. There is a reason that they want the public perception to be that the kids are conservative.

If you think about it, anything other than this result would lead to "concern about our kids" which would lead to taking action against that which is influencing them.

Guess the media, Hollywood, and the Left will need to redouble their efforts after these disturbing poll numbers come out. I'm inclined to believe the research that indicate the brains of older teens show serious deficiencies where their center of judgment should be, however, so these 13 yr. olds may still have good sense that will be missing when they are 16.

[Brilliant]

In that case, we should let 13 year olds vote.

[little jeremiah]

later read/pingout?

[rbg81]

No surprise here. 13 year olds have yet to complete the liberal brainwashing regimen. It also goes to show that even a 13 year old has more sense than a 40 year old liberal hack professor.

[Anti-Christ is Hillary]

"American children entering their teens remain very cautious about sex and dating and still trust their parents and church."

No say it ain't so. The high school and college teachers have their work cut out for them. The libs are soooo funny wondering why this might be happening. 1. They are killing all of their future voters (the only good thing about abortion), conservatives are having all of the children. 2. All of the 70's and 80's latch key kids are all grown up and don't want their children raised like that.
