Here at my blog, I will share a song with some of the lyrics that pertains to the cause.
Internet bullying has become a big issue.
ReplyDeleteThe video has a great tune and message.
This is one of the most insidious forms of bullying because you can't see what you're doing to the person. If only there wasn't a downside to this whole internet thing.
ReplyDeleteI'd never heard this one before. Another great song. Although it's a shame there even has to be a song about this subject. :(
ReplyDeleteLovely! Thanks for posting this today. I'm subbing a book right now that has Internet Abuse as one of its themes. I hate what can happen when kids are so mean to and thoughtless of others.
ReplyDeleteThat's great! :) What a catchy tune. They need to share this in grade schools- the kids would love it. :) And it is so informative
ReplyDeleteIt so amazing how many different forms of bullying. And you are so right to be kind on line. We all spend So much time in cyberspace, so keeping things pleasant makes our task easier.
ReplyDeleteChildren must be taught about the use and misuse of Internet. Be both respectful and careful about what they upload or see.
ReplyDeleteThe tune is kind of catchy. :)
