Olivia Gardner, a teenager from Northern California, had been severely bullied in school. After reading of her ordeal in a local newspaper, we were shocked. Olivia had endured so much pain. Her book bag had been dragged through the mud, her schoolmates had created an "Olivia's Haters" page on the internet, and they would whisper "Die Olivia" to her in the halls. Olivia's story broke our hearts, especially when we learned that she was suicidal. We couldn't imagine such cruelty.

School District Offers Security Lessons
<b>James Logan High School</b>, located in the San Francisco Bay Area, spans a large city block and has about 4,000 students attending its classes. Earlier in the year, some of those students made news—two for organizing a fundraiser for disaster relief in China and one for being among the winners of a national scholarship award program. That’s the way schools hope their students make headlines. Unfortunately, another Logan student, 14-year-old Vernon Eddins, also made the news late last year—in that case, it was because he had become the latest victim of gang violence, which has been growing in Union City, where Logan is located.

Dizzywood Virtual World Enhances Technology Program for Kids
<b><a href ="http://www.dizzywood.com/">Dizzywood</a></b>, a virtual world and online game for children ages 8-12, today announced that it has been selected by the <b>YMCA of San Francisco </B> to enhance the youth program’s technology curriculum. The YMCA is using Dizzywood’s virtual environment to reinforce its program emphasis on activities that promote values such as caring, honesty, respect and responsibility. Children also learn about important issues relating to virtual worlds, such as digital citizenship and online safety, as well as complete storytelling and team-building exercises that emphasize creativity, writing and reading skills, and working together to achieve goals. The YMCA program is similar to the elementary school program that Dizzywood recently completed with the <b>Reed Union School District </b>(Marin County, CA). The highly interactive workshop, which ran from April through June, used virtual activities to reinforce the school’s character pillars, which include caring, citizenship, fairness, respect, responsibility and trustworthiness, among other core values.

Cases of cyberbullying are opportunities to teach about responsibilities, consequences and healthy relationships. Employers are starting to check prospective employees' online habits: your resumé is one thing, but what kind of person are you online? We all leave digital footprints.
