Cyber-bulling


Gossiping, trashing others and being unkind to others can come about with just a touch of a button because of technology, such as cell phones and the internet. It has always been important to teach your child not to gossip, criticize others, and being unkind in general. But I think it is extremely important today to emphasize this with your child. A tween may not even realize how hurtful one criticizing text to another tween can be. All it takes is just one unkind remark to another to be categorized as cyber-bullying. It doesn’t need to take place in the hallways of school anymore with the use of cell-phones and the internet. The technology today can make bullying way too easy for kids, so if your child has a cell phone, talking with your child about gossiping is more important than you may think.
