Remember the little autograph books students used to keep in middle school and HS? Or maybe you aren't old enough to know. Little books about 3 X 5 inches and half an inch thick were passed around for friends and acquaintances to write something and sign. Sometimes there was an ugly comment.

Cyber bullying is these ugly comments on steroids and anonymous. Most of the time we knew who wrote the uglies because they signed. Only occasionally were they anonymous.

Obviously middle schoolers of today with all the violence and sex they are exposed to are not mature enough to have these things unless strictly supervised as to time of usage and content.

No way they should be in school, although you have to wonder if they learn much even when they pay attention--"Barack Hussein Obama-Mmm! Mmm! Mmm!"

I remember those books! Tried to find a site that still sold them so we could give them out to the 8th grade graduating class, but no luck.

True, there was the occasional cruel remark, but those remarks were easily “deleted” by ripping out the page, and the whole world didn’t have to see it.

All in all, it was a fun thing to do, and whenever I come across my JHS autograph book, I get a kick out of reading it.

Regards,
