They just had a big TV special on Dr. Phil about Cyber Bullying and the kids that are committing suicide over it. It seems to come mostly, from what they are saying, with kids picking on other kids that they think are gay mostly; but, it is a horrendous thing to be going on.
Dr. Phil asked a lot of teens about it and they seems to all know a lot of kids who were bullied but not to that extreme they thought. His feeling was if you are there and see them bullying someone it's your obligation to speak up and say something about it to either try to get them to stop it or to report it to authorities before it gets out of hand. They say an alarming number of kids from 10 to 18 are committing suicide over being bullied and it's so hard to control now with so much of it being online and in myspace and facebook and youtube and all over the net.
Have you heard of or seen any of these things going on anywhere?
It has to be horrible to leave someone that young thinking the only way they have out of it is to take their lives. These kids are jumping off bridges after leaving notes on facebook and other places or doing other things to take their lives.
What can we do to try to help stop this situation?
Do you know of any that this has happened to in your area? So many of the parents and others are totally shocked when this happens. They say they knew nothing about it.
This world has got to change. We should be lifting each other up and not tearing each other down. The world is a hard enough place to live in and make our way through with problems we can't avoid. What can we do to make it a better place????
