Did you know that 40% of teens report being bullied on-line? Of that number, unfortunately only 10% tell their parents, and 60% of parents never check if their children are involved in unkind or even unsafe cyber-stituations. Remember to tell a caring adult if someone is intentionally and persistently hurting you, physically or emotionally, in person or in cyber-space. |
