If you are coddling your children and trying to protect them from reality, you're the problem because you're not allowing you're child to grow and find the courage within his/herself to resolve conflict and assimilate into their role and position in society.

the best way to prevent bullying is to raise your kid with character, stop you're childs tendancy for whining and crying at an early age, encourage them to play sports early as this will eventually lead to a competitive personality and will release more testosterone in developing boys ,anger is a great motivator so encourage an attitude that allows for them to use adverse situations as a driving force to will their way to a solution, stop feeding your kids soy based foods and Mcdonalds.

try to make your kids realise that life is much harder than unsavory myspace comments, prepare your kids for life, don't do them the disservice of making life too easy because they will not know how to combat stressful situations when life gets complicated, stop making your kids soft

Damn! you sound just like my old man. (almost 40 years in the army, now retired)
