We have gone cyber mad. Even the government are getting dragged into this B/S. Come on Judith Collins surly you are smarter than that are is it just for your own attention to boost your votes? We need to be addressing the real issue of why kids live on the internet and phones? What is it about this that makes it so addictive it changes their persona? I guess it is similar to drugs, smoking, gambling can not stop, it takes over our lives! That is what we should be investigating. Are these media sites set up in such a way it brainwashes its users, changes their opinions and minds?? Why do people become addicted??

Simple don't answer your phone if you don't recgonise the numer. How about you switcht the thing off. Stop living your life on the computer,facebook, social networking places, get a life. Oh thats right your phones and computers are your life. Fight back and forward there bullying to the police, teachers or anyone who could help. They will get sick of you forwarding stuff and may step in and do something that you can't. Agree with chargone. Mind you if people believe any rubbish about another person placed on the internet is real, the world is doomed. If you are being bullied, don't put up with it, get even, and do it before the government decides to change the law so you don't get done to.

Kids cant even last in the cyber world without breaking down or go mentally unstable due to influences.. I heard/seen kids as young as 10 surfing on dangerous grounds on the internet?! This is all too common in a uncontrolled cyber world.
