Adolescents growing up in a digital, highly mobile world are increasingly coming to grips with questions of ethics and behavior, with mixed results. On the one hand, cyberpranking and cyberharrassment have increased. On the other, more kids are willing to intervene when they see cyberharrassment. For example, 34 percent of respondents to a recent survey on digital abuse said someone looked at their text messages and recent call logs in their phones without their permission this year.

I ran across this article while researching for my ethics class and had just posted to the class on how the net needs over site...
Thank you sincerely, for all that you can do to accomplish goals toward this effort, Ronald Cunniff
