Hi Jeanie, ((( Smiles )))

The struggle with body image..
It is really hard theses days the pressure from the media,
movies, magazines... And of course also the web...
As children connected to the internet sometimes...
And my child doesn't have an internet connection on her computer..
I won't let her she can only play certain
computer games..
But this is another thing parents have to
worry about theses days...

" Cyberbullying " ?

Cell phones and the internet are a social lifeline for many young people.
" They also can be their social death, " says Canadian's Maclean's magazine,
since " cyberbullies " can use E-mail , instant messageing , and a cell- phone
text messaging to torment victims. "

" A quarter of young Canadian internet users report haveing recieved material that said hatefull things about others, "
says Maclean's.
Such electronic bullying has moved police to issue reminders that written death threats are a crime.

Mclean's advises parents to talk to their children about the people and places they visit on-line and to put computers
in an open area in the home where it is easy to moniter what children are reading and sending.

The report warns children never to respond to a bully's message and never to " give out their log-in codes or passwords to others ,
even their best buddies,"
in order to prevent their private information from being passed around to others...
