Cyberbullying is harassment through electronic means such as telephone text messages, social media such as Facebook and Twitter or online blogs and bulletin boards. In normal bullying, students are given a daily break from the torment as bully and victim each go to their separate homes. But for victims of cyberbullying, there is no reprieve, as the abuse enters into their private lives. In the US, there are at least 44 states that have anti-bullying laws on the books. While only six of them use the actual word “cyberbullying”, 31 others have laws that specifically mention “electronic harassment”.
Prosecution in the UK is a little more difficult. While all schools are required to have anti-bullying policies in place, cyberbullying itself is not named as a criminal offence. Offenders in the UK would have to be charged under various other laws, including the Protection from Harassment Act of 2003. This makes prosecution much more difficult.
Authorities agree that in order to stop cyberbullying, there has to be parental involvement. Parents need to be vigilant about their children’s access to technology. They should monitor their children’s use of social media, especially children under the age of 14. Bullies are not going to simply disappear, but parents can go a long way in protecting their children from being bullied.

The art of happiness
Nearly every time you see him, he’s laughing or at least smiling. And he makes everyone else around him feel like smiling. He’s the Dalai Lama, the spiritual and temporal leader of Tibet, a Nobel Prize winner, and an increasingly popular speaker and statesman. Why is he so popular? Even after spending only a few minutes in his presence you can’t help feeling happier. If you ask him if he’s happy, even though he’s suffered the loss of his country, the Dalai Lama will give you an unconditional yes. What’s more, he’ll tell you that happiness is the purpose of life, and that “the very motion of our life is towards happiness”. How to get there has always been the question. He’s tried to answer it before, but he’s never had the help of a psychiatrist to get the message across in a context we can easily understand.

Ebonics
The word ebonics is made up of two words. Ebony,
which means black and phonics, which refers to sound.
It is a systematic rule-governed natural speech that is
consistent as any other language in sentence structure.
This is referred to as syntax. What makes this speech
pattern uniquely different to “so called” American Standard
English is its verb tense or lack of it. An example of this
can be seen in the sentence, “He is sick today”. This same
sentence translated in ebonics would read, “He sick today”.
As you can see the verb has been omitted. However, this
speech pattern is consistently used. Major controversy
has arisen whether or not ebonics is a separate language
or simply a dialect. In doing my research, I have found that
most linguists take the position that ebonics is a dialect.
What distinguishes dialect from language is that in dialect
two speakers share most or some of the same vocabulary
and is recognizable and understandable. In contrast,
separate languages are present only when the inability to
communicate verbally occurs.
