Bully Busters

In New York the Governor Andrew Cuomo signed a bill passing that teachers are responsible to report any type of cyber bullying. There are varies of cyber bullying as in email, IMs, social networks and text messaging. This bill says that teachers will be trained to identify bullying at school and hopefully in the community.

Honestly I think this is a great idea but the fact that According to the Cyberbullying Research Center, every state but Montana has a law in place to prevent bullying. Forty-two states' laws include electronic harassment, and 14 include cyber-bullying.

America needs to stand up and advocate/influence children how to prevent bullying by not being one or to not be a by stander!
