Yes! To answer your question: Is this a newsworthy topic? Absolutely! We parents have got to re-educate ouselves and our educators. The school bully is no longer "Butch" and the image that comes to mind. 21st Century bullies come in all shapes, sizes, colors, religions, boys and girls alike.

With all the gadgets, video games, and TV shows that we parents use as babysitters, is it any wonder that the modern day bully is turning to the internet for a quick fix of his/her favorite drug,POWER? We have to get a handle on this. How many school shootings is it going to take for parents, educators, and law enforcement to put a stop to it? We all have to get involved and take action now. I created my blog (http://momsagainstbullying.blogspot.com) in an effort to bring parents and educators together to find solutions. Our kids are worth it.

A good start

There is really a need of good entertaining games for children from 10-16. There are a slew of excellent learning games for young kids. At that age, they are motivated to play the learning game if it allows them on the computer. By the time they are 10, they really just want to have a game to play. Then the search begins. Thank you for your helpful tips. I'll sit down with my daughter and take a look at the sites.
