From Workers Independent News –

Advocates of a bill that would help bullied students in New York schools are concerned that the shift in power of the state legislature could put the act in jeopardy. Lee Cutler is with the New York United Teachers who says the legislation is necessary in this new age of bullying.

[Cutler]: "Maybe in the '50s and '60s and '70s you'd just get prank phone calls, but now with everybody on the Internet and with cell phones and things like that, the harassment can continue 24 hours a day.

I am a product of growing up in an environment like the one these teachers are now trying to stop. I will say that the new cyberbullying has the potential to be very catastrophic if not stopped.
