"Cyberbullying" is when a child, preteen or teen is tormented, threatened, harassed, humiliated, embarrassed or otherwise targeted by another child, preteen or teen using the Internet, interactive and digital technologies or mobile phones. It has to have a minor on both sides, or at least have been instigated by a minor against another minor. Once adults become involved, it is plain and simple cyber-harassment or cyberstalking. Adult cyber-harassment or cyberstalking is NEVER called cyberbullying.
Stopping Cyberbullying
Third Amendment to the United States Constitution
Prior to the American Revolution, the British had passed acts first in 1765 and later in 1774 called Quartering Acts. Those acts required that British soldiers who were stationed in the American Colonies would be lodged in alehouses, inns and livery stables as per the 1765 Act, and even in homes of private citizens as per the 1774 Act, if the barracks housing the soldiers were inadequate and provided insufficient space. The Quartering Act of 1774 was one of those acts that were considered intolerable by the colonists and pushed the colonies toward revolution.
The First Amendment
Most people in our country know that the right to bear arms is guaranteed by the Second Amendment to the Constitution. However, most of our citizens know little or nothing of the First Amendment to the Constitution. Thomas Jefferson once claimed, "A democracy cannot be both ignorant and free." Without more knowledge and in depth understanding of our rights we are risking our freedom. The idea that information should be shared among the citizens of a new country was a belief and attitude commonly held by the men who settled the United States. They were, for their time, "enlightened" at least on the issue of sharing information.
