Children at computers working, playing, listening to music, or are they bullying others? Do parents know what their children are up to? And are the young people of today actually being bullied through the Internet?

A recent search has proven that 33% of the youth have been cyber-bullied (bullied via the internet). Most parents are unaware of the situation as cyberbullying can happen at any time - even when they are asking friends for homework on MSN.

At the end of the day, everyone's there looking for a job. It doesn't matter where you're from or who you are. Everyone's just trying to earn their money at the end of the day.

The people of today have invented such terrible misuses of the gifts we have to the extent of bullying, it needs to be tackled before it advances into something worse.
