"Maybe your kids have been bullied, or maybe you worry that they will be. Bullying today still happens in traditional ways; but it can also happen in new and confounding ways. The troubles spattered across the media today aren't only new; they're newly confounding. One of the most difficult things about being a parent today isn't social cruelty per se, but the yawning gap in knowledge (particularly around digital issues) and a display of unmistakable human cruelty that can be disquieting. Decreasing or increasing, the fact is that bullying and cyberbullying remain among the most commonly-cited concerns expressed by parents and educators. New and baffling problems, articles, opinions, and advice abound. Yet even this large (indeed, sometimes overwhelming) flood of information doesn't really provide many answers about what to believe (is cyberbullying really rampant?), how to tell when something is truly a problem (versus just "growing pains"), or what parents are supposed to actually do (or not do, as the case may be)"--
