The freedom of anonymity allows this bullying to occur. Parents need to be more watchful and involved when their kids are at the computer. It's never too late to learn compassion and, at the very least, to refrain from participating in bullying of any sort.

They really try and get through to elementary school children where I live that bullying is wrong. My children Ages 31 and 30 were taught bullying is wrong, my granddaughter age 7 is taught bullying is wrong. Unfortunately some children forget this starting in Jr. High. Both my children were bullied and my daughter had to request that a certain girl and my granddaughter be placed in separate classes as the other little girl also lives in the same bldg as my granddaughter and constantly is mean to her.
