technological fixes

Many sites now allow you to report a user if you believe they have been abusing their rights or the websites policies. This is not a perfect way to stop internet bullying because in many cases the damage is already done before the report has been filed. Some parents and schools may even block certain sites they do not want their children to participate in, which can definitely shield their children from cyber bullies. Filtering what students and children see and use online basically has the potential to control how they act online. Users of social networking tools can also block specific people from contacting them, thus eliminating that bully individually.
