"In the news recently, a from Massachusetts took her own life after she had been bullied on the Internet by other girls. Even after she died, there were comments made on her Facebook wall that were inappropriate. It&amp;#039;s so upsetting to see that tragedies like this are still happening even after other high-profile cases like this have occurred. We ran a poll in the December issue of Seventeen that found that 38% of readers wish they could escape social media like Facebook, MySpace, and IM, or wish it didn&amp;#039;t exist at all. A lot of you have told me that you&amp;#039;ve been cyberbullied or know someone who has. It&amp;#039;s a lot different to be bullied online than at school since you can&amp;#039;t really run away from it- you can be stalked, harassed, blackmailed, pressured, or tortured in ways you never could in person.  So, first of all, how can we get through to the people who are doing the cyber bullying? How can we stop them from doing it? I&amp;#039;d really love to hear your thoughts. Second, if you&amp;#039;re the victim of digital abuse, there are things you can do to end it. 1. Don&amp;#039;t reply to hateful, hurtful messages from anyone. 2. Block their email, texts, and IM, and change your Facebook and MySpace settings to prevent them from messaging you or posting on your wall. 3. Tell someone you trust immediately, like a counselor or a parent. You can also report it to the site if you&amp;#039;ve been attacked on something like Facebook or MySpace. Tell me about your experience with cyberbullying and please share any thoughts on how we can put an end to this dangerous trend.  XOXO -A. "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
