I know; I tend to go on a little bit about Pinterest. Not only do I have a general social media addiction, but I also have a Pinterest addiction. It’s been confirmed. The support group is on its way. So, I always like to hear about others who are getting involved in this social networking … Continue reading →
Even before the Internet, kids bullying other kids at school was a big problem. But these days, kids have it a little harder. Not only do they stand the chance of being bullied away from home, but they can also fall victim to cyber bullying – which can reach them anywhere they go. In 2005, … Continue reading →
