After all, bullying can only be stopped if there's concrete proof that it's taking place. Now this can be tricky if someone's being picked on in dark alleys or behind the bike sheds. But where electronics are concerned it should be a whole lot easier.

Take abusive texting for example. The text message comes with its own date and number stamp - so either the bully will have to use a separate account or someone else's phone. Email is trickier but I'm willing to suspect there are more than a few bullies out there who are dumb enough to use their own email addresses. After all, it's not a profession that attracts the best and the brightest.
