According to recent studies, cyberbullying is a bigger deal than one might typically consider.
A study released this week shows that 3 out of 4 teens were bullied online over the last year, but, even more importantly only 1 in 10 of those kids told their parents or another adult about it.
The psychologists who followed through this study fear that most parents may not understand the vitality of the Internet to the social lives of their teens. According to the lead psychologist in the study, it is important that parents talk with their kids about what they may foresee when they join the Internet world.
Now, I know that this may not be only pertaining to blogging, but, I found it interesting that since the Internet has become such an integral part of our generation, that "blogging etiquette" is now something that child development professionals feel is now yet another talk that parents must have with their teens. Now, in a world, where all parents would follow these parental tips, would this have an effect over the blogging community? Now, given, I understand that Would people be less likely to be so judgmental and personal about their public commentary?
