Jessica took her life because 4 high schools with over 2000 peers relentlessly abused, assaulted and harassed my only child 24/7 to her breaking point. The principal, administrator, counselors,her friends-bystanders and RSO did not come to her aid. I did all I could with the little knowledge I received. The school did not follow their anti bullying policy which clearly states I was to be notified immediately among many other factors. My daughter died by BULLYCIDE. This is not an "Extreme" case. Kids are dying at an alarming rate. Please do the research. Words DO Kill!

If I had read this a few years ago it would probably have been more helpful, as I learned about sexting the hard way. Parents should know that even if their child's phone can't send or receive pictures (mine can't) photos can be taken by friends or computers and their cameras. Luckily for me, the boy who received the photo (despite being prejudiced jerk ) probably didn't forward it. Parents should have this conversation with their child just as regularly as they do about sex. It may not get your child pregnant, but it could emotionally devastate them. My case was extremely mild but it still makes me feel ashamed whenever I think about it. I think this post gives perfect advice.

One thing I was hoping to see you mention is that parents have the option of blocking photos and videos on their children's phones by requesting that it be turned off by their carrier. We have unlimited family texting, but it's used for words only. They are unable to open videos and photos from other kids, and are also unable to send videos and photos. They aren't very happy about it, but I let them know that their phone and the features that come with it is a privilege, not a right. This is an excellent post.
