A prosecutor brought charges this week against nine Massachusetts teenagers for adolescent bullying of a 15 year old who later committed suicide. These days, bullying takes place in cyberspace as well as in the schoolyard, allowing little relief for the victim. We discuss tools for kids, parents, and schools to help curb bullying.
