They are the latest weapons in a bully's arsenal — computers and the Internet. For many teenagers, the web is like a second home where they go to talk and catch up with friends. But for some, that home isn't so safe these days because bullies have been coming to call. Hiding behind the anonymity of the Internet, cyber-bullies are setting up abusive websites about certain students and inviting others to join in with lewd and offensive comments. The victims suffer the blows of humiliation every time they log onto the Internet, making their lives unbearable and suffering deep emotional wounds. Right now there's little anyone can do to stop it.
