Its also to teach students to be responsible online behaviors. It will also alienate teenagers instead of helping them to navigate social sites safely and without doing harm to others. Its the teenagers faults for cyberbullying others its not the social netwrking sites fault because its the teenagers/kids who are starting all this cyberbullying because these teenagers/kids who are on these websites like Facebook and MySpace, etc. are threatening and harassing there enimes.** =====
