In regards to the cyber bullying presentation, I thought it brought up numerous interesting points, such as the fact that children today are acquiring cell phones at younger ages than before.  I got my first cell phone when I was a freshman in high school and I know that my older brother and sister got their cell phone's when they were about to graduate from high school.

I don't believe their is any way for people to regulate cyber bullying.  There's no way that people are going to be able to censor text messages or facebook messages based on content.  I believe that cyberbullying is just something that we, as adults, are going to have to do our best to teach our children that it is the wrong thing to do.

On a rather random note, the commercials that were shown in regards to cyber bullying were quite brutal, in my opinion.  The things the kids said were so incredibly painful that I couldn't help but laugh a little bit because I wasn't aware that kids that age said things that hurtful.  Kids who still participate make fun of another child's family's economic status?  The commercials reminded me of a Canadian PSA commercial that I had seen online a few years back, mind you that the link I just posted is quite graphic, even though it connects to a YouTube video.  I post it as a comparison just to show the same "shock and awe" value that I  got when I watched the cyber bullying commercials.

On another note, I found this article on CNN that says Facebook is able to tell when people are most likely to have a broken relationship.  They conducted the search through key words in people's facebook status (which almost comes off as an almost poor way to conduct the research).  The article claims that many relationships are broken off just before Valentine's Day, which is just so heartbreaking!  The majority of relationships ending, hilariously, happens right at Spring Break.

It's quite insane how much we can learn about people through studies conducted by Facebook.  Perhaps sociologists around the country should start looking into Facebook as a means to study human actions.
