Kids can be cruel at a young age, and as we know even adults. It seems like over time, bullying has evolved, extending its reach beyond the schoolyard or around the local town to the world of online harassment where indivusals can hide behind their screen and really, say or do whatever, with out any real consequences. Statistics show that an estimated 160,000 children skip school every day because of fear—an alarming reminder of the emotional toll bullying takes.
