Internet bullying at work and school

Tech: Kids are becoming more adept with computers, but sometimes they turn into bullies. When I was a child, you had to insult someone to their face. Children who have grown up with technology may be more likely to launch craven and cowardly attacks through weblogs, IM and anonymous postings. They distribute pictures and videos of each other on P2P networks.

Beware the forward button, people. Once you send a message, you’ll never stop it.

Users sign and forward petitions though e-mail. Adults like “King” Peter Chung of the Carlyle Group and Trevor Luxton of Credit Lyonnais thought they could brag about anything and everything in an e-mail message. It all just makes me wonder sometimes.
