Is it denial or plain laziness that you just don't want to take the time with your children and censor what they do or say on the internet? Just watch the news and see how many teens kill themselves because someone posted slanderous material about them online for all of their friends to see. Not one of us can say we wouldn't be affected by misinformation displayed for everyone to see. Children are very voulnerable at young ages and are very influenced by the people and happenings around them, of course someone beating them down with words over the internet is going to effect them. Not all suicides are caused by this by any means, but open your paradigms to views much bigger than you. Not only can we stop and help our children deal with bullying, but also stop our own children from doing it to others. It's just common sense, the world doesn't have to be cruel, especially to our kids if we can prevent it. How can anyone say the internet isn’t related to the suicide of young teens?

Once someone (read:soccer mom) starts a cause to "protect her kids on the internet" everyone will suffer as a result. This cause mixed with news of it will make it a reality. Our interwebs as we know it will be /phail. I see the news reporting about the horrors of myspace or some other social outlet almost, at least it seems, daily as of late.

It's a report, not propagation. It's there and it's happening and hopefully, it's an aberration. We'll see. For myself, my own daughter, 11, spends a lot of time online. We educate at home and for us, the Net is a vital educational tool. If I seriously thought she was in any kind of danger, I wouldn't let her near a computer. In the meanwhile, are you suggesting I shouldn't report this kind of thing? Cheers! “Stop propagating this bullshit theory that links the Internet and suicide.”

We’ll see.
