Cyber Bullying

Parents, teachers, children and community members should be encouraged to mingle on social media sites like Facebook. Anyone who has read Lord of the Flies knows what can happen if children are left unsupervised with out authority. A recent article in the St. Albert Gazette describes an incident of cyber bullying.


Facebook is a community and a healthy community has a mix of people. I do not think that a teacher and students should be "forced" to be friends on Facebook but I think kids should have positive role models involved in their lives as much as possible. I would hope that adult community members would be more likely to interfere and decrease incidences of cyber bullying.
