This article was about how bullying has gone to a completely new level due to technology and access to that technology. It talks about "a 15-year-old voiced her dislike for a hip-hop music group and got punched in the face by a classmate. The whole thing was caught on tape and social media helped police in their investigation.
A crowd of six to 10 classmates were following the self-described emo girl and her boyfriend home from school in Newark, Ohio, on an autumn day in September. Some kids were taping it and others were egging on the assailant, who was on the school wrestling team. It all started because Alexis Xanders doesn't like Insane Clown Posse."
I think...
Really? Did no one see this coming. We are allowing Americas youth access to extreme amounts of information and online data that they can post anything, and watch and say anything on a day to day minute by minute basis. The combination of teenagers, their hormones, complete access to voice their opinions and sites that they can post those opinions is a natural recipe for another way for teens to lash out.
