If you are receiving harassing messages from
cyber bullies through Web-based mail services
like Hotmail, Yahoo Mail etc., it becomes very
difficult to trace such accounts as
cyberbully_at_hotmail.com. You may have to delete
your current e-mail account and start a new one.
Tell only a select few people you trust about
your new e-mail account when, and if you choose
to re-establish one.

SILENCE, when others are being hurt, is not
acceptable!
