Got even one cite that more kids kill themselves as a result of cyber-bullying than because of real-life bullying?
Did I state anything along those lines.? Shouldn't we tackle all forms of bullying with whatever means we have rather than only tackling one form?
Wrong. Unserious measures are easily detected by kids who will quickly turn the meaning of the emoji into something (probably the opposite) of what was meant by its well-meaning creators.
Care to cite your evidence on this?
Um...huh? Sneakily picking on a kid implies nobody knows the bully did it. Sending abusive messages leaves a "paper" trail. I think you're mixed up.
Hmm - a comment from DUCKofD3ATH - leaves a claer trail to teh person's identity doesn't it?
If even one kid gets bullied as a result of kids abusing the meaning of the emoji, what will you say then?
I would rather one kids was bullied than another killed themselves. Different values I guess.
Again many comments advocating violence as a way to stop bullying. That seems to have worked really well hasn't it? That was the solution in the past and we still have bullying - except we now hvae physical, psychological and cyber bullying.
