No... but it seems to be to every flipping out parent in the country. Remember: online is *scary*. ::shudder:: We must ban it and stop it and protect our children! They are going to be raped and tortured and kidnapped and molested! These scary people aren't in our neighborhood - they are all online!!! ::sigh:: As for this finding... remember, some findings are obvious, but it's still nice to find them in data. I had never seen stats on these practices before starting all of this. And it's nice to learn about how bullying plays out now and compare it over the ages and across all technologies. Of course, it's important to note that quite a few teens have bought into their parent's paranoia and think that the online world is somehow more dangerous. That's *very* frustrating to me... Then again, perception is more important than data when it comes to fear. danah On Mar 1, 2006, at 1:39 PM, Ellis Godard wrote:

Is that surprising to them? Or to you?
