May 3, 2010 (Pen Men at Work): The principal of a New Jersey school has requested the parents of all the middle school students to ban Facebook. Anthony Orsini, principal at the Benjamin Franklin Middle School, dispatched an email that recommended the parents to prevent their children from utilizing social networking websites such as Facebook. He also solicited the parents to carefully scrutinize the text messages of their children.

In his email, Orsini inscribed that there is just no raison d’être for any middle school student to be a component of a social networking site. He discharged the raison d’être that children of this age are utilizing social networking sites to terrorize each other. In his email, he articulated that the danger to these children from online adult marauders is nothing compared with the destruction that these kids are continually inflicting on each other via social networking sites or via text and picture messaging.

Orsini declared that his email is not anti-technology but all that he desires is that the parents recognize that these 12 and13-year-old kids are unready mentally for the harm that cyber harassment can produce. He stated that he does not desire to witness any of his students experiencing preventable anguish. Many youngsters have already been victimized heartlessly by cyber bullying.

The principal’s anxiety was backed by Meredith Wearly, a student counselor at the school. The counselor divulged that a massive amount of her time was spent coping with the hazardous repercussions from social networking crises that consist of innocent students.
