"Researchers found that online bullying is in fact relatively uncommon when compared with the incidence of real-life bullying.

"Hollywood continues to depict newspapers in movies as if we were still in the 1920s. But our world has changed irrevocably". Ah, but is it as inaccurate as the way that most newspapers portray the games industry, eh ;-)
