Cyberbullying

I think banning anonymous comments is a step closer to reducing cyberbullying.  By banning anonymous comments, it would make it easier to view who is communicating the threats and by having to use a username this anonymous person will be least likely to continue.  The positive and negative aspects of the freedom to remain anonymous are the same to me.  You have the right to say whatever you want and not have to worry about what others think.  To reduce cyberbullying, I believe the schools should intervene and start presenting what cyberbullying is and the effect it can have on people's lives.  The role parents can play in cyberbullying is to talk to their children, learn what they are doing on the Internet, and keep their computers in common areas of the home.
