Nearly a third of online teens say they have been harassed on the Internet, with girls and participants of social-networking sites more likely to be targets, a study finds.
Hi, guys another study conducted on teens, which shows elder's interest, read funny stuff below
QUOTE
One-third of teens online reported being harassed in study Girls more likely to be bullied Two-thirds say bullying was more common offline
two-thirds of teens say bullying and harassment occur more often offline.
According to the Pew Internet and American Life Project, the most common forms of cyberbullying are publicly disclosing someone else's private e-mail or messages, sending threatening or aggressive messages and spreading rumors online.
Pew also counts as cyberbullying the posting of an embarrassing picture of someone else without permission.
Thirty-two percent of online teens said they have experienced at least one of those acts.
It rose to 38 percent among online girls and 39 percent among users of social-networking sites like MySpace and Facebook.
The telephone study of 886 U.S. Internet users age 12 to 17 was conducted October 23 to November 19. It has a margin of sampling error of plus or minus 4 percentage points.
All I'd have to do was mention that I'm hispanic on Yahoo chat, and the cruel comments would start coming in. Sometimes I'd just disagree on a political viewpoint and they'd insult me for thinking differently. Who gave these people the right to call someone names over a disagreement? I've never had anything bad happen to me on MySpace though, but I never post my picture.
Cause these low lifes are basically only roaming around online because they are either bored or victimes of abuse in the offline world, therefore it makes them feel bigger for that moment. Gone are the days of "Dont do to someone, what one wouldn't want done to themselves" and now online bullying is so easy because it's much easier to get ahold of this information.
You have a fight with one friend at school who knows your email address -> Spreads it to 30 people who then spread it to another 30 so on and so on. Your never going to stop cyber bullying as long as there is always offline bullying going on. You call someone a "N0b" at school and then you have a punch on, but it still goes into a flaming conversation over MSN Messenger/AIM/Yahoo etc...
Wist they'd leave us teens alone.Heck ,they do all these surveys and WHAT? does ANY of it stop?NO.WHY?because thers surveys are just meant for statistics and for nothing else.What has ever been done to prevent bullying in schools,it STILL goes on,and we teens who are at the receiving end of all the crap are the ones who have to read about our "plight" at various places so that someone ELSE,who isnt even remotely related to us can get his 15 minutes of fame.
NO amount of internet security will EVER prevent online bullying because the internet is a place where reality can be distorted without much effort.It'd be better if all these agencies that fill their record books by taking "pool's" ACTUALLY found out the cause of the bullying and DO something about it.
biggest cyber bullying site ever would be www.purevolume.com they constantly abuse people for having a differen opinion or liking a certian style of music. it'd dumb that in this country you're supposed to have free speach but if you speak out you'll get made fun of or ridiculed for it.
The first day I had myspace, I was friended by a guy who was atleast 6 years my senior who wanted a relationship XD I just ignored it. Theres so much spam on myspace, its really annoying... I dont really use networking sites that much though.
"Psychology is the study of how people think and act. Psychologists observe people in social
environments in order to understand why people act the way they do. Psychologists use experiments
and questionnaires to investigate people. We study how genes, age, background and environment
influence the way people behave and how they assign meaning to what they perceive and experience."

I normally try to separate my many difference existences on the Internet, keeping one well away from
the other. Each year I start a whole new existence, a new online identity, a new persona. I just
like my privacy I guess. But I'm going to break my own rules here and show off one of my
previous sig files that I created for a different online identity of mine. This is from 2007, when I
was a moderator on the Meez website. The image was created using Adobe Fireworks. The
background is from a montage of Meez images that I created of myself, with all sorts of di....

This is something worth checking out! Everyone is familiar with Desktop Operating Systems...
Windows, Linux, MacOS etc... ...but do you know about online Web-based OS? Basically, you open a
(usually free) account where you are able to log in to see a fully functional desktop... all through
your web browser. It's just like working on a "normal" computer except that, because it's
online, you can access your work... and the programs from anywhere. If you haven't seen this,
it's probably better to have a live example. Here are four examples for you to....
Ladies and gentlemen I have found the mother of all mathematical resource sites. Wolfram
MathWorld This site is the be all and end all of math sites. You'll be geeking out for hours
on this site if you have a love of math. It is choc full of formulas and diagrams, some of which are
interactive. It is mind-boggling when one considers the range of topics this site covers, no matter
how simple or complex. And they don't skimp on the details either, with each concept (at least
those I've read) thoroughly and clearly explained while keeping technical verbo....

So I have noticed that many recommends Google Adsense when people wants to earn money by placing ads
on their website(s). The only problem is that you need to be 18 in order to use Adsense. (Maybe you
can get your parents to sign up.) But still I am wondering if there are any good options out there
for people under 18? Maybe there are not any good out there, what do I know. Therefore I am asking
you. Thanks. /smile.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":)" border="0" alt="smile.gif" />....

Hello, all and thank you for taking a moment to read. I wonder if it is really possible for a
regular internet user to make money online. I mean, I know that there are many people telling their
"huge payoffs" and their "wonderful revenues", but I have never met a real person with a real story
of (at least relativa) success. If you are one of those real people I have not met yet, please feel
free to tell your story. How much time you need to invest in order to start earning real money? What
do you need to do? What are good options to start? What things is better not to ....

Atleast in the country where i hail from that is India, i can say this without a shadow of doubt
that here studies have become more of a minimum Qualification rather than doing something special TO
take an example, people all over the world prefer to do an MBA at a later stage of life when they
have an experience enough to boost their managerial skills. But here it is like, MBA has been
downtrodden to a minimum Qualification as in, once you are done with Graduation, you will have to go
for an MBA or else you will be left lurking with low salary and an average job. True ....
If you see these "make money online" things that say stuff envelopes, read emails or anything and
they ask you for money dont do it. Stay away. If it was that easy everyone would do it. There is
no easy way to get money. I am sure many will say yes there is look at this link. Well im not
gonna look at the link. People arent into giving away money. The only way to do it is to sell a
product or service. Find something your interested in and sell it....make a site about it, sell at
the flea market, farmers markets, any where you can..... So stay away from those mak....

Gunz Online Anyone play this yet? It looks cool guys, The graphic was ok and this game is like
counter strike but you can use swords, mire guns, etc. Make room, kill player, get money, buy stuff
and so on. This is a multiplayer, the bad thing is that sometimes there are times that you
can't connect in fast because that are many players in the server (there are 6 servers). So if
you cannot connect it, then you have to hold on your enter button and dont pull out your finger and
just hold on until it is connected. Here is the link: Gunz Online ....
