Bullying: It Stops Here
Beginning with AC360′s first bullying special in the fall of 2010 following the Tyler Clementi suicide, Anderson Cooper and his producers have never ceased to impress me with their dedication to this topic, and their willingness to examine and discuss it in a way that inspires real conversation and action. This year we have put together what I believe is another truly fantastic special that aired Sunday night on CNN for the first time, and will air again later this week. Please check your local listings for AC360′s Bullying: It Stops Here, on Friday, October 14.

Rosalind’s Inbox: Rapper
Rosalind answers a question from Dominique, who has been asked to monitor her 17-year old nephew’s online activities by his mother. She’s worried that doing so will amount to spying on her nephew, but ever since he started producing Hip-Hop and sharing it on-line his grades have been slipping. Should she tell his mother “no,” and respect her nephew’s privacy, or do she and his mother have the same right to see what he’s posting as everyone else?

Why Don’t Boys Want To Dance?
If you have a daughter and she likes to do things that are typically “boy,” you are probably prepared to look for a class or a program that makes her feel comfortable. The coach or teacher is usually aware of the particular challenges of being one among many and goes out of their way to make her feel comfortable. But apparently, this is not the case if you’re a boy. “Boys don’t like to dance,” “Boys don’t like to read,” “Boys don’t like to be in plays,” are just a few examples I have heard repeatedly as a teacher, writer, and parent. As if we, the adults, are not the ones responsible for creating the very environments where our boys would feel comfortable and included.
