Kids can be cruel by bullying each other in person. With the regular use of social networking sites by teens, bullying has now taken form on the Internet. I came across this sad story about how some teens and even parents (yes parents!) were cyber-bullying a girl so bad on MySpace that she committed suicide at age 13. To drive a girl this young to commit suicide is horrible.
For the complete story, go to Net hoax turns deadly, turns town against neighbors.
So, my question is "Should Internet use be regulated, specifically on social networking sites?" This would be an enormously challenging task.
What do you think?

I am totally against cyber bullying but i dont think that myspace, facebook and twitter should be banned for kids. I am a teen and I have all of theose websites and have not been cyber bullied and I know that you get the odd person that you dont know or dosent like you well you dont have to add them as a friend, block them! I know that they can still talk about you but then you can report it. These days there is plenty of ways to catch the culprit of cyber-bully and sometimes it cant but on Facebook, Myspace and twitter they can be stopped so these websites shouldnt be banned for kids.
