Girls Use Cell Phones To Bully Each Other

A new study finds girls are increasingly bullying other girls via cell phone and text messaging, reports United Press International.

"Researchers tracked 65 15- to 18-year-old girls and found bullies used text messaging more than the Internet and traditional playground methods.

Forty-five percent of the girls, who lived in a well-off Sacramento suburb, say they've been victims, USA Today reports. The study was presented at the American Educational Research Association meeting in San Francisco. Researcher Juliana Raskauskas conducted the study while at the University of California-Davis."
