It's no news that children and teens can often have rivalries with other kids their age, but a disturbing and growing trend that has claimed innocent lives throughout the country is cyber bullying

According to recent reports, more than 20% of high shool students, nationwide say they've been a victim of "Cyber Bullying"

Its the latest form of taunting, that one school in Brownsville says it needs to stop.

Administrators at ST. Joseph's Academy in Brownsville say they are not taking their chances and are taking a preventative approach to this epidemic.

They will host nationally re- known speaker, Barbara Jane Paris, next month to tackle the issue.

The presentation will focus on teaching parents, teachers and students about the signs of "Cyber Bullying" and ways to prevent it.
