Cyberbullying option
I have seen many television programs of late on the sad state of affairs re the cyberbullying of children.
Yes, it's a serious problem but who is to blame?
Seems to me that parents are no longer prepared to take responsibility for their progeny by exercising the proper control over their children's access to social media sites during their impressionable years?
Like any drug or alcohol addiction (and yes, obsessions with social media sites can be likened to an addiction) if you have the self-control not to use it, the problem goes away.
No one is forcing these kids to use social media. It's absolutely not necessary for any aspect of their education or future careers.

Editor's note:
Should parents take more control over their children's access to social media?
