What They're Saying...
"The handouts, Q&As, and use of the big interactive screen were very helpful. These guys were to the point, did not waste our time with fillers, and left us with enough curiosity to go home and search out these sites to become familiar with them. We NEED to stay in step with our teens and adolescents as they mature into young adults." Janelle Taylor, Social Worker, Tift County

September 2: Sexting - A Brief Guide for Educators and Parents
Justin and I have just written a new fact sheet on Sexting, based on requests that we have received and feedback from previous blog posts. It first provides a definition we've crafted, and describes the phenomenon for the layreader. Then, we discuss two major cases that made national attention before reviewing the current state of research. Here, we have shared new numbers from our most recent ... August 31: A Student Guide to Personal Publishing Sameer and I recently wrote a concise "Student Guide to Personal Publishing" which was published by Jostens (the class ring and yearbook company). They contacted us looking for information they could provide to students, parents, and educators about being safe and responsible when publishing material both online and off. While we regularly discuss these issues in our presentations, we didn't have anything written that could be easily ... August 23: Cyberbullying and School Climate There has been a lot of talk about improving school climate recently, in line with the U. S. Department of Education's new focus for public schools across the nation (and their Safe and Supportive Schools initiative). I have recently discussed it in January at a NCPC summit, and covered it briefly two weeks ago while at the August 17: Offline and Online Cultural Messaging about Girls and Sexuality I was recently walking around with a friend and saw a girl (who looked to be around nine years of age) wearing a shirt that proclaimed "Born to be SEXY" - which caught me off guard. Not to be a prude, but it bothers me that cultural messaging strategies continue to induce girls to think of themselves primarily (or even partially) as a commodity that can possibly (or actually) sexually benefit others. I think that this is problematic even if a grown woman is wearing it. Justin and I have seen anecdotally through screenshots collected by our research team as they scour Facebook and MySpace ... August 12: Patterson v. Hudson Overturned Back in March I wrote about this case, where a federal jury had ordered the Hudson Area School District in Michigan to pay $800,000 in damages to a student who was repeatedly harassed by classmates (and allegedly staff) for a period of several years. A federal district court had been reviewing the facts of the case and recently overturned the jury's order, stating that the harassment the student experienced ...
