...Starr should not have reacted as he did towards what he saw on Twitter. He is older than the students he is accusing of bullying, and that means he should act more maturely. Starr should not dwell on meaningless tweets that students post. It is very unlikely that a student would tease Starr to a point where he would consider suicide, none the less carry out a post that claims they will harm Starr if there is school the next morning. While it is upsetting that Starr had to experience cyberbullying, it is even more unsettling that he had to see cyberbullying happen to him before he started a campaign. Some students have committed suicide, and it is too late for them for anybody to help since Starr waited until he was bullied to take action. Starr’s campaign against cyberbullying, which he has called “Cyber Civility,” is completely selfish and immature, since he did it to protect himself from cyberbullies instead of focusing on the real victims: the students who could be bullied anywhere at any time. - See more at: http://www.thechurchillobserver.com/opinions/2014/01/08/superintendent-responds-to-cyberbullying/#sthash.88bSg2eY.dpuf
