Cyber Bullying
Nickelodeon and Common Sense Media are teaming up to teach you and your kids how to be cyber savvy. Harness the power of the Internet and learn how to be a good digital citizen. Cyber bullies come in all shapes and sizes. Also, cyber bullies strike no matter what age you are. I recently had a cyber bully attack me and I learned that it is important to guard my own kids against people like that.
