The BBC reported that the option to contact a "trusted friend" has been added to the website's safety center http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/technology-12701138. Facebook said that the system was designed to help people solve online problems "face to face". The changes were unveiled at the White House where President Obama and his wife Michelle hosted an anti-bullying conference. In March 2011 on-line bulling http://www.blogger.com/img/blank.gif issue was raised and preventative measures were sought out. The anti-bulling issue is an international concern and social websites are seeking to take preventive measures.
Dispel the myth that bulling is a rite of passage, it’s not and we don’t need to allow that behavior. Just because it’s been around forever, does not make it right. Everyone has a right not to be bullied. In person online or on one’s cell phone. No bulling anywhere, anytime, for any reason. There are people out there who are stepping up who are leading to help and seek to end bulling and create a stronger sense of community. It’s about working together and stopping this issue.
Great post, Scott. Just edit your subject heading "bulying" not "bulling" and fix the spelling in the second paragraph. Youse 'da best, guy!
