I gotta agree with you there. The USA Today had an article (it took up the whole page) about a week or two ago about the effect that Instant Messaging bullies and internet bullies in general are having on kids these days. Apparently getting taunted in chat rooms has a stronger psychological effect than a school yard bully. It is really screwing with kids - especially younger ones such as Middle Schoolers. I guess the kids feel free to really let loose on people because they aren't face to face. I still put it back on the parents though. When did we stop teaching right from wrong?
